Tawny is so happy and wants to hear all the juicy details of Amber seducing Liam. She is so proud of Amber, and Amber declares that she is going to be so good for Liam and make him happy. She does not want to celebrate; just concentrate on the future with Liam and this baby. She relays that she even called Oliver and shared the big news. Liam returns from his walk and Amber suggests a nice hot bath in that big old tub for two .she'd also like him to make love to her again. Hope sobs. She opens the door and Liam forces himself in. He says Amber wore him down with guilt and they made love, but it was a mistake. He is not taking no for an answer. He wants them to get married. Oliver walks in and wakes Hope from her dream stance. She laments that she was saving herself for Liam. She thought she loved him, but she didn't realize just how much. She cries that now she doesn't understand how or why he could do this to her. It was that darn paternity test. Liam tells Amber that he is not in love with her and what they did today was not right. He can not do that again. He needs to go home. She's disappointed, but doesn't pressure him. Oliver tells Hope that maybe all of this happened for a reason to bring Hope closer to him. He plays their song and tells her not to keep torturing herself. On the couch, he kisses her .then unbuttons his shirt and takes it off then starts unbuttoning her blouse ..more hot kisses. Amber tells a disappointed Tawny that Liam wasn't hungry for seconds. And she is not in it just for quickies. She wants Liam now and forever, a family for her baby. She will have to do this her way without Tawny's interference. Tawny warns her that Hope is competition out there and then there is the little weasel, Carl, who could blow the paternity right out of the water. They simply must button him down. Hope leans on Oliver and tells him that she is sorry that she couldn't go through with it. She doesn't want her first time to be when she is so upset. Liam beats on the door and insists for Oliver to open it as he saw Hope's car in the driveway. He comes in and sees no shirt on Oliver, and Hope buttoning her blouse. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what has been happening. Dejectedly, he leaves. Hope shouts through the door that he hurt her last night and she doesn't know why he did what he did with Amber.
Hope: (Sighs) (Sobs) Tawny: Oh, Honey, I swear, I just wanted to strangle that little weasel. Carl Ferret-- he is a crazy man. I mean, Honey, if we don't come up with a lot of money to give this guy, he is gonna spill the beans. If Liam finds out that that paternity test was rigged, I... (Gasps) No, no. Is Liam here? I--is... Amber: He isn't here, Mom. Tawny: But-- well, neither are you. Honey, what's that look on your face? Amber: We did it. Tawny: Did what? Amber: Liam and I. Tawny: (Gasps) Are you saying what I think you're saying? Amber: He's mine, Mama, for real this time. (Laughs) Tawny: (Gasps) You and Liam made love? Amber: Yes, with a capital "L." Tawny: (Squeals) Amber: (Laughs) Tawny: I'm so happy for you! Oh! Honey, that is great. Just--just tell me. Tell me. Tell me about it. Amber: It's kind of intimate, Mom. Tawny: Yeah, that's one of my favorite words--"Intimate." So, you know, how... did it happen? Amber: I... worked my magic. Tawny: (Singsong voice) Ohh, you seduced him. Amber: No, it wasn't seduction. It was two people sharing a child, just coming together just like nature intended. Okay, I guess there was just, like, a little bit of guilt and seduction thrown in there, too. Tawny: (Sighs) (Normal voice) A man just--just doing right by the mother of his child. Amber: (Sighs) Tawny: Oh, Honey, I am so happy for you. Amber: Mom, I really think I could fall in love with him, and I want him to love me, too. (Sighs) Tawny: I mean, Honey, he will. I mean, what's not to love? I mean, and look at you. You are beautiful, you are sexy, and most important, you are carrying that precious little baby in your belly. Amber: Yeah, if only it were really his. (Sighs) Tawny: Oh, Honey, that is just a minor little detail. Don't even think about that... (Chuckles) Right, Honey? You did! You did. Ca-ching! I am so proud of you Amber: I rally want to make him happy, Mom. I do. And I am. I am gonna make him happy. We're gonna be a family. (Chuckles) Tawny: Part of the Spencer family. Oh, and, Honey, after everything we've been through, you deserve this. Yes. Honey, this calls for a celebration. Where's Liam? Amber: He went out for a walk. And--and listen, we are not gonna celebrate this, okay? And we're not gonna overplay this. You're gonna leave this in my hands. Tawny: Okay. I mean, you seem to know what you're doing. Amber: What I want is a father for my child and someone I could well spend the rest of my life with. Tawny: (Sighs) Honey, he means that much to you? Amber: Liam and this baby are all that matter to me now. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: (Sighs) Was he there with Amber? They wouldn't. They... oh, my God, they didn't. Please tell me they didn't. [Hope dreaming] (Knock on door) Liam: You have to let me in. Hope: No. Liam: Hope, no. We need to talk. I need you. Hope: You have Amber now. Go talk to her. Liam: I don't-- I don't want Amber. Hope: You made love to her. Liam: It was a mistake. We agreed to go our separate ways. She wore me down, and she guilted me but it was a mistake, because I don't love her. Hope: How could you touch her that way? Liam: Damn it. It's cr-- its crazy situation, okay? And--and I regret it, but I don't want her. I want you. You know how I feel. Hope: I can't do this. Liam: Yes, you can. Yes, you can, and you will. God, I regret it, okay? I regret it. But we can get past this. You have to forgive me because we can get past this. We can deal with this together. And this baby does not have to be an obstacle for us, I swear, I want to marry you. I want to have children with you. I want the whole shebang, and I am not gonna let Amber's pregnancy get in the way of us. Do you understand me? Hope: (Sighs) Liam: I'm not taking no for an answer. [SCENE_BREAK] Oliver: Hope? Hope: (Sighs) (Sighs) (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: I called Oliver. Tawny: When? Amber: After Liam and I made love when, uh, he was in the bathroom. Oliver and Hope were at his place. Tawny: You told him what happened? Amber: I thought he'd be interested. Tawny: Honey, are you sure this is wise? I mean, if he finds out you made that call he's not exactly gonna be happy. Amber: He's not gonna find out... although Hope did call back here a few minutes later. Tawny: Oh, dear Lord. Amber: It all worked out for the best. Hope was talking to Liam, and she put it together that we had just done the deed, so now she knows. Hmm. (Door closes) Amber: Hey. How was your walk? Liam: Fine. Tawny: Well, must have done you good. You have a really nice glow about you. Amber: Don't you have an appointment to go to or something? Tawny: Um, yeah. Yes, I do. You know, I better get going. Um, I'll see you later, Liam. Tawny: (Quietly) Get him back into bed. Amber: (Quietly) Mom. (Normal voice) Bye. So do you want me to fix you something to eat? Liam: No, I'm not really hungry. Amber: Really? I thought you'd be famished after a walk and, um, you know, other stuff. Hey, have you seen the tub in the bathroom? All those jets? You know, a person could have a lot of fun in there... or people. Liam: I don't think so. Amber: Well, how about, uh, how about a nice massage? Hmm? I want you to make love to me again. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: Maybe-- maybe I'm not meant to be in love. Something terrible always happens. What s wrong with me? Oliver: It's not you, all right? You can't just give up. Hope: This is all just-- it's so unbelievable. I mean, why-- why would he do this? Hours ago-- literally just ours ago he told me that I am the only woman I want, and then I find out he's made love to Amber, how could he do that? Oliver: Hope, you told him you wanted to move on. Hope: I know. I did. I told him to go be with Amber, and I guess I convinced him. I didn't take him very long. I just... didn't expect this feeling, you know? I didn't... I didn't expect this. God, and I was saving myself for him, and look at what happened. Oh, my God. I love him so much-- so much. And, you know, it was the paternity test. It was that damn paternity test that changed everything... except one thing-- I thought I loved him before, but didn't even know how much. I didn't know that it was possible for me to hurt this way, Oliver. I don't understand why he did this. I don't understand how he could do this to me or why or what he was thinking. (Sobs) [SCENE_BREAK] Amber: So you want to again? Liam: Amber, I told you I'm not in love with you. Amber: I know. Liam: Uh, what you and I did today was not a good idea. Amber: Are you disappointed? Liam: No, I'm just not-- I'm not ready for that. Amber: Hmm. You seemed pretty ready to me. Liam: (Scoffs) Amber: Are you sorry it happened? Liam: Amber s-- Amber: Hey, listen, its okay. I'll just make something to eat and we can watch a movie or something. Liam: I-I think I'm gonna-- I gotta go home. So I'm sorry, but good night. Amber: Listen, Liam. You don't have to be sorry. I told you before, I'm never gonna pressure you, and I-I really meant that. I'm pregnant with our baby. You know how it is. You know, my body, it's changing. I-I'm full of all these crazy pregnant hormones. And, um, pregnant women, they just-- they like to be touched. (Sighs) And you did that for me, so thank you. Good night. Liam: (Chuckles) Good night. Amber: (Sighs) [SCENE_BREAK] Oliver: You're gonna get through this. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you will. Hope: Earlier tonight, I walked in on a kiss, and Liam was apologizing. You know what? He didn't mean for it to happen, that he loves me. And then the very same night, he makes love to Amber. How--how am I supposed to deal with that? Oliver: Maybe it happened for a reason-- to bring you closer to me. Oliver: Close your eyes. Do it. Hope: (Chuckles) Okay (Sniffles) (Sighs) (Jason Castro's "Love Uncompromised" playing) Oliver: Our song. Hope: (Sighs, chuckles) Oliver: You remember? Hope: "Love uncompromised." Oliver: You can't keep torturing yourself. You gotta trust me [SCENE_BREAK] (Knock on door) Tawny: Hi. Was that Liam I saw driving away? Amber: Yes, Mom. Tawny: Well did you take my advice and did you give him a second helping of what you gave him earlier? Amber: (Sighs) He wasn't hungry anymore. Tawny: He turned you down? Oh, Honey. Amber: Let's just get something straight, Mom. This isn't about sex. Tawny: No, it's about your future, not to mention mine and the baby's. Amber: Yes, my future and I want it to be with Liam. Tawny: Then go after I. Amber: What, by throwin' myself at the guy every chance I get? Tawny: Well, I don't think that's the worst idea. Amber: Well, maybe for you, but not for me, okay? Not this time. (Sighs) I want Liam's love, not just for the night or a couple of quickies. I want a father for my child and a man for me and Liam, he's gonna be that. But... I have to do this my way, not yours or anyone else's. I am pregnant, and Liam, he thinks it's his. Now that's opened the door for me, but it's up to me to bring him into my life and make us a family. Tawny: Honey, I know you want that. I do, and I know you love this young man, but you--but you cannot forget that there is competition out there-- Hope. And there is danger out there in Carl Ferret I mean, he could blow this whole paternity thing right out of the water. Honey, you have got-- got to button this boy down, 'cause we are runnin' out of time. [SCENE_BREAK] Hope: (Sighs) I'm sorry, Oliver. Oliver: No, don't be. Hope: I just-- I couldn't-- Oliver: It was too soon. Hope: I didn't want it to happen this way, when I am so messed up. Oliver: When it happens, you'll want it to. I can be patient. And I-- I wish it didn't have to happen like this, but it's just great being with you again. I hope you trust me. Hope: I do trust you. And I didn't know if I ever would again. Oliver: I knew you would. I wasn't giving up till I earned it back. Hope: (Chuckles) Oliver: You can count on me. Whatever you need, I'm there. Hope: (Sighs) (Pounding on door) Liam: Oliver, open up! (Pounding on door) Liam: Oliver, open the door. I know you're in there. I want to talk to Hope. I saw her car out front. Oliver: He doesn't want you here, and I don't want you here, either, all right? We're in the middle of something. Liam: Why are you doing this? Hope: You slept with Amber. Tell me you didn't. Oliver: Go back to Amber, Man. Go back to the mother of your child. Hope: You hurt me tonight! What you did with Amber... how could you do that? Why? Why would you do that to me?
