Liam repeats it again  he is not the father of Amber's baby. Tawny reprimands Amber for not telling her that Marcus could be a candidate for fatherhood; this sort of puts a crimp in their plans. She needs a little time to think. Bill, Katie and Brooke drink a toast to his son for not being tied to Amber for the rest of his life. Katie feels badly for Donna though since she will have to deal with Amber all on her own now. Brooke laments that they are now both great-aunts to Amber's baby. Marcus is apprehensive, but happy to hold his baby. Donna takes this opportunity to warn Amber that what she did was cruel and selfish. She faked a paternity test and put Liam through hell. And even Marcus had no idea this was even possible. Marcus tells her this is not the time. Donna tells Amber that she will cut her some slack for now, but she is putting her on notice that she will not let her take advantage of her son. Tawny returns with some coffee and says she really needed it; having babies is so exhausting. Then she wants to know if they have discussed names. Amber suggests Ambrosia and Marcus adds he'd like to call her Rosey. Tawny isn't so worried about the first name, but the last. This is a Forrester baby. Liam tells Hope and Oliver that the whole night was a lie. He never even had sex with Amber. She faked the results of the paternity test. Oliver asks then who is the father of the baby. Hope is shocked to hear that it is Marcus or how Amber thought she could get fool them with that. Liam said she was wrong, but she thought it was Oliver's. Oliver has some explaining to do and admits he should have, but he had not told Hope that he had been with Amber one time. He loved Hope, still does, but she loved Liam and kept pushing him away, so he's only human. Liam says the important thing is Amber and the baby is behind them now. He won't be tied to her the rest of his life. The dark cloud that has been over them has been lifted. Oliver leaves, and Liam and Hope hug and kiss. Marcus tells Tawny that she will not be part of any scam concerning the Forrester's. He will not be taking anything from them as they had nothing to do with this. He realizes all this is to Tawny is a big meal ticket and he says he can't stand her. She tells Marcus they can discuss Rosey's last name later; that is not important to her. She also tells Tawny that she does not have a next move. She is not going to use her daughter to try and get rich. Tawny finally says she gives up. Marcus wants to talk to Amber. He comments they have a child together, but if she thinks she can trap him like she tried with Liam, then she can forget it. She agrees; they will be friends and parents. They can make a wonderful life for their little girl, but separately ..a partnership not a relationship. Bill finally manages to reach Liam by cell and he and Brooke say hello to Hope. Brooke tells her she is so proud of her and knows she will be okay. She is a sensible girl. Hope tells Liam that she is proud of him too for not turning his back when he thought it was his baby. He admits that he would have done the right thing, but he is not ready to be a father just yet. But the woman he wants to be that mother is right there with him. He points out that the past is over. All they can do is look forward to the future and make it whatever they want it to be. Liam says, "It's you and me. We got our dreams back, baby girl."
Liam: Did you hear what I said? I'm not the father. I'm not the father of Amber's child. (Laughs) [SCENE_BREAK] Tawny: You know, you could have told me that you slept with Marcus as well. Amber: I guess I forgot. Tawny: Well, it kind of put a little crimp in our plans. I need a little time to think. Marcus: A baby-- I've got a baby. Amber: Yes, you do. Justin: Hell of a way to find out. Donna: Tell me about it. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: A toast... (Glasses clink) Bill: To my son being free of Amber Moore and her grifter mother. Katie: Mm. Brooke: Hear! Hear! Katie: Yes, although I feel bad for Donna. She has to deal with Amber all on her own now-- I mean, she and Justin. Bill: Poor guy. Brooke: And you and I are great-aunts to Amber's baby. Katie: Ew. I didn't think of that. Bill: Well, you better start drinking now. Brooke: (Laughs) Yeah. Katie: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: Do you want to hold her? Marcus: Me? Amber: You are the father. Marcus: (Sighs) Right. Right. Amber: Here. Marcus: Um... Amber: (Chuckles) There you go. Donna: Oh, oh, cradle her head, darling. Marcus: Oh. Okay. Donna: (Sighs) She is--she's beautiful. (Sighs) Justin: Ah, Marcus... (Scoffs) you and Amber. How many times have we warned you? Amber: I guess it was a little late. Donna: Justin, I-I don't think this is the time to go off on our son, okay? He's--he's still in shock. Justin: And we're not? Donna: Of course we are. Justin: Okay. Donna: I mean, suddenly, I'm a--I'm a grandmother. (Clears throat) Amber... (Sighs) what you've done is cruel and selfish, lying to Liam like that. Faking a paternity test-- who does that? My God, you put the boy through hell. Amber: I know. I know. I was wrong. Donna: And now my son is a father, and he had no idea that this was even possible. Marcus: Mom, this isn't the time. Donna: I'm sorry. I'm--I'm sorry. Uh, yeah. I'm gonna cut you some slack because you are a brand-new mother. But let me just put you on warning that I will not let you use this baby to take advantage of my son. Tawny: Ooh, I really needed this. I mean, this havin' babies is exhausting. So have we come up with a name yet? I mean, we can't keep calling her "her." Amber: I think Ambrosia. Marcus: How about we call her Rosie? Tawny: Actually, I was thinking more about her, um, last name. [SCENE_BREAK] Bill: Listen, I know I was riding Justin a little bit, but I feel terrible for him and for Marcus. Forever tied to Amber Moore- I have spent way too much time thinking about that. Brooke: I wonder where Hope and Liam are. I haven't been able to reach her on her phone. Bill: I haven't been able to reach Liam, either. Katie: Well, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. Bill: I am sure there's not. This has to be the greatest day of their lives. They must be celebrating. Wouldn't you be? Katie: (Chuckles) [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: I don't understand. Liam: Amber lied. We never even had sex that night. The whole thing was a lie. Hope: Wait. What--o-okay. But the paternity test-- Liam, it proved that you were the father. Liam: She faked the results. Oliver: So who's the father? Liam: Marcus. Hope: Marcus? Marcus is the fa-- how did Amber think she was going to fool us with Marcus's baby? Even Amber's not that stupid. Liam: Because she thought the baby was Oliver's. (Thunder crashes) Hope: Oliver's? [SCENE_BREAK] Oliver: Yeah, I... I was with Amber. Hope: All this time, and you never told me? Oliver: I now. I know. I should have. Hope: Wow. Yeah, you should have. Oliver: It was-- it was only once, okay? I mean, what did you expect? I loved you. I still do. But this guy-- you love him, and you kept pushing me away, and... I am so sorry, but... I'm--I'm only human. Liam: A-all right. O-okay, look, look. The important thing is Amber and her baby are behind us now. I mean, I'm not gonna be a father. I'm not tied to her for the rest of my life. The dark cloud that's been hovering over us has lifted. Hope: (Sighs) Oliver: I'm gonna go. Good luck, you two. (Door closes) Liam: Wow. Hope: (Sighs) This is real, right? I'm not imagining this, right? Tell--right? (Chuckles) Liam: It's real. We have our lives back. Hope: Oh, my God. [SCENE_BREAK] Tawny: The way I see it, this baby is a Forrester. Donna: Wait a minute. I'm gonna let you take advan-- Marcus: No, no, no, Mom. Now you listen to me. I will not be part of any scam against the Forresters. Tawny: I mean, you have got to provide for this child. You have a responsibility, and as Eric Forrester's granddaughter-- Marcus: Are you listening to me? I will not be taking anything from the Forresters. This has nothing to do with them. Eric was kind enough to adopt me. Tawny: Yeah, that is exactly my point. Can you imagine how sweet he'd be to little Ambrosia? Marcus: That's all this is to you, huh, some meal ticket? You know, woman, I can't stand you. Tawny: Are you gonna let him speak that way to me? Amber: Mother, just leave. Tawny: What? Amber: I don't want you here right now. Marcus? Someone's missin' her daddy. [SCENE_BREAK] Marcus: She's so beautiful. Our little angel. Amber: You know, let's, uh, let's worry about her last name later, okay? Its not important to me. Marcus: Okay. Amber: Hey, I'm, uh, I'm a bit tired. Do you mind holding her for a while? Marcus: Sure, I don't mind. Amber: Okay. Mm. Donna: (Sighs) Marcus: Look, Ma. That's me. I made that. Donna: I know you did, darling. I know. (Sniffles) Marcus: You know, I wasn't planning on being a dad for a long time-- a very long, long time. Donna: I know. I know. But life rarely works the way we plan it. I mean, look at your dad and me. And the three of us, we're a family now. That's--that's a miracle. And now you--you have your own little miracle. Donna: (Sighs) Marcus: But what if... what if I'm not able to be-- Donna: Oh, no. No, no, no, no. You, my darling, you're gonna be the best father in the whole world. I promise. Marcus: You hear that, Rosie? Hmm? I'm gonna be a good dad. Donna: (Laughs) Marcus: (Chuckles) And your mom-- she might just turn out all right, too. Stranger things have happened. [SCENE_BREAK] Katie: Well, as much as I would love to stay and drink champagne with you, I have got a meeting. Please, please tell Hope that I love her and I'm so happy for her. Brooke: Of course. Katie: And we are gonna talk soon, 'cause I want things to work out for you, too. Brooke: Okay. Thank you. Katie: Bye, babe. I'll see you at home. Brooke: (Sighs) Bill: Let's give Liam another try here, all right? Liam: Dad? Bill: How's it goin', stud? Liam: How do you think? Bill: This should be the best day of your lives. Brooke: Liam, could I talk to Hope Liam: Uh, yeah, yeah. It's your mom. Hope: Ooh. Mom, hi. Brooke: Honey, hi. (Chuckles) Hope: Mom, can you believe this? Can you believe it? Brooke: No, I-I know. You had all these dreams about the baby not being Liam's. Hope: And it's-- it's all come true. Brooke: Yep. You have your fairy-tale ending. Hope: Yeah, I do. Everything's gonna be all right, Mom. You can stop worrying. Brooke: I don't worry about you, honey. You are a very sensible girl. And I'm very proud of you. Hope: Thanks, Mom. Okay, I'm gonna come home and see you as soon as we get back, okay? Okay, bye. Liam: So our parents seem pretty happy, yeah? Hope: And you're not? Liam: Oh, believe me. I'm a lot more than pretty happy. Hope: Yeah? (Laughs) You know what? My mom may be proud of me, but I am so proud of you. Liam: Proud of me? Really? Why? Hope: Yes, because, Liam, you could have walked away from Amber and the baby, but you didn't, and I respect you so much for that. Liam: (Laughs) Hope: I do. Liam: Well, it wasn't easy, but I'm not gonna walk out on a kid that's mine. I mean... Hope: You know what? You know what? I-I just-- I can't even believe that you didn't even have sex that night. Liam: Yeah. Hope: Amber is a scheming bitch, and she cost us so much time. So much time was lost. And her mother--her mother-- I can't even go into words. Liam: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I can think of some better things for us to be doing right now than talking about Tawny and Amber. Hope: Oh, you can, can you? Liam: Oh, I can. Hope: Like--like what? Liam: Want me to show you? Hope: Yeah, yeah, I do. (Giggles) [SCENE_BREAK] Tawny: Am I still banished, or can I come in? Okay, well, I'll take that deafening silence as a yes. So what's our next move? Amber: Mother, just stop it, okay? I love my little girl so much. Can't you see that? And I'm not gonna-- I'm not gonna use her to try and get rich. Tawny: W-well, yeah, but I-I still-- Amber: No. I mean it, Mom. No. Tawny: Okay, listen, um... (Sighs) I-I-I give up. Marcus: Amber? I need to talk to you about something. Amber: Sure. Marcus: Now look, we may have a child together, okay? But if you think that you can trap me like you did trying to trap Liam, you can forget it. Amber: I understand. We're friends. And we'll be friends and--and parents together. And we'll do everything we can to make a wonderful life for our little girl. Marcus: But separately. Amber: Yeah. Not a relationship, a partnership. Shake on it? Marcus: Okay. Hook 'em. Amber: Do-- Marcus: You gotta hook 'em. Mm-hmm. Amber: (Chuckles) Okay. Marcus: Okay. Amber: (Sighs) Thank you, Marcus. Marcus: For what? Amber: Giving me our little girl. This is the happiest day of my life. Rosie: (Fusses) Amber: (Sighs) (Sighs) Come here. Come on. Marcus: You got her? Amber: (Chuckles) Marcus: (Chuckles) Amber: I got her. I got her. Marcus: She's still sleeping. Amber: Mm-hmm. Marcus: She's so light. Amber: I know. You're so sleepy. Wow. Amber: (Chuckles) Marcus: That's all us. Amber: Amazing. Amazing. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: (Chuckles) I still can't believe this. Liam: (Chuckles) I know. Hope: I mean, we have freedom. Liam: Freedom! Hope: Freedom from Amber. Liam: I just-- I-I'm not even-- I'm not even used to it yet. Hope: You know what? I just want to savor this moment right now, being here with you. Liam: Mm-hmm. Nothing hanging over our heads. Hope: (Sighs) I have to ask you, though. Are you okay? Liam: I'm wonderful. What do you mean? Hope: Liam, I know that there was a little part of you that was excited about being a dad. Liam: Oh. See, okay, that right there. That's--that's what makes you so incredible. How many people would even think to ask me that? Hope: Well, how could I not? I mean, this has been a reality for months. Liam: Mm. Hope: And when you got off that plane to go to the hospital-- Liam: Okay, look. I mean, I-I would never reject any child that's mine. I-I really would have done everything in my power to protect and love that baby. But... (Chuckles) I'm not ready to be a father. I'm not ready to be a father! I'm not ready to be a father. Hope: (Laughs) Liam: But when I am, there's one woman... Hope: Mm. Liam: That I want to be the mother of my child. There's one woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. And she was with me through all the dark days, and here she is. Oh, my God, here she is right beside me. You know what the cool thing is? Hope: What? Liam: The past is over. Now all we can do is look forward the future, and it can be anything we want. We can make it whatever we want. Hope: (Sighs) Liam: It's you and me. It's you and me. Hope: Yeah. Liam: We got our dreams back, baby girl. Hope: (Chuckles) I love you. Liam: I love you. Hope: (Laughs) Liam: (Laughs)
