>> Steffy: I wont abandon my

mother on Christmas.

>> Hope: Thats not what Im

asking you to do.

>> Steffy: Its Kellys first

Christmas.

>> Liam: We should all be

together.

>> Hope: Yes, we should.

>> Steffy: But thats not gonna

happen.

>> Hope: Liam needs to spend

Christmas with his daughter, and

you are Kellys parents.

This is gonna be a moment youre

gonna cherish forever.

I dont want to stand in the way

of that.

>> Liam: So...

theres no problem, then.

>> Hope: As long as Taylor is

not there.

>> Liam: [ Sighs ]

>> Hope: I wish things could be

different, but the way things

are, the way Taylor is acting...

Im sorry, we cant celebrate

Christmas with your mother.

>> Taylor: I cant thank you

enough for your support today.

>> Reese: You deserve it.

I wish you had more of it in

your life.

>> Taylor: I do. I do. Yeah.

My daughter, shes been

absolutely incredible.

But Im just so excited about

Christmas.

I mean, this is my

granddaughters first Christmas.

>> Reese: Yeah, you -- you can

really feel the magic of

Christmas when you share it with

a little one.

>> Taylor: I know, its so true.

I still remember when mine were

little.

Yeah, the anticipation, the

stampede of little feet running

down the stairs on Christmas

morning.

>> Reese: Sounds like your

daughter wants Kelly to have the

same type of memories.

>> Taylor: Yeah, well, Brooke

and Hope are unpredictable, so

I dont know about that.

>> Reese: Uh, you said that

Steffy mentioned something about

adoption.

>> Taylor: Yeah, shes thinking

about it.

If you have any advice, I would

love it.

I would really appreciate it.

>> Reese: Adoption is a

marvelous way to build a family,

but Steffy should know that its

very complicated and very

expensive, upwards of $50,000.

>> Taylor: Oh, money isnt a

concern at all.

I would spend 10 times that

amount if it meant Kelly getting

the sister that Steffy wants for

her.

>> Reese: Well, having a loaded

grandma is definitely a plus.

>> Taylor: No, I just want to be

helpful in any way I can.

Oh, speaking of which --

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

I told Steffy I would be right

back.

Ive got to go.

I really do appreciate meeting

with you today.

Its been lovely.

I love talking to you.

>> >> Reese: Um, Ive got it.

>> Taylor: No.

>> Reese: Yes!

>> Taylor: No, well split it.

>> Reese: My treat. I insist.

>> Taylor: You sure?

>> Reese: Yes.

>> Taylor: Thank you.

>> Reese: I hope I get to see

you this holiday.

>> Taylor: Oh! Yes. Me, too.

And I want to get you a gift.

To thank you for everything

youve done.

>> Reese: No.

The only gift that I want to

receive from you is more of your

time.

>> Maya: Youre sure this isnt

a bad time?

Im not -- Im not interrupting

anything?

>> Hope: Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

>> Liam: No.

>> Hope: No, were happy to see

you.

>> Maya: Well, Im happy to be

here.

And Lizzys thrilled to be home.

>> Liam: Aww.

So, Rick is at the house with

Brooke?

>> Maya: No.

Its just Lizzy and me.

>> Hope: Oh.

Did Rick stay in Paris for work?

>> Maya: You havent heard.

Rick and I are getting a

divorce.

>> Hope: What?

>> Liam: Whoa.

>> Hope: Oh, I am -- I am so

sorry.

>> Liam: Are you okay?

>> Maya: Its for the best.

>> Liam: Yeah, but thats still

got to be hard.

>> Maya: The divorce isnt final

yet, but we just wanted to tell

everyone before Christmas so it

didnt get awkward.

>> Hope: Well, I know that we

are thrilled to have you and

Lizzy home, and we love you both

so much.

And this is going to be a

wonderful Christmas.

There wont be anything to make

it awkward at all.

>> Liam: No.

>> Taylor: This is what

Christmas is all about, spending

time with friends and family and

people we care about.

Ive been wanting to tell you --

Ive been spending time with

someone.

>> Steffy: Oh, a new friend?

>> Taylor: Uh, yeah, a man.

Yeah, hes been showing some

interest.

>> Steffy: Anyone I know?

>> Taylor: Zoes father.

Dr. Buckingham.

>> Hope: Rick said hed call

after his meeting.

Look, I mean it.

Anything you need, all you have

to do is ask.

Especially when it comes to

helping with Lizzy.

>> Liam: Uh, hold on.

Your mom may have something to

say about that.

>> Maya: That is true.

>> Liam: [ Laughs ]

>> Maya: Brooke cannot wait to

spoil this child.

>> Hope: [ Laughs ] Well, I

mean, we can watch her when

shes in a business meeting, or

whatever.

I mean, she cant hog Lizzy all

to herself.

>> Maya: [ Chuckles ] That

sounds great.

Thank you so much.

I cannot tell you what your

support means.

But if you are serious about

babysitting, you might want to

speed it up because you will

have a little girl of your own

soon.

>> Liam: Ah, yeah, um, a little

girl without a name.

>> Maya: Well, its an important

decision, guys.

Come on!

[ Laughter ]

>> Hope: I mean, we want her

name to be meaningful...

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Hope: ...and, um...

You and Rick named your daughter

after our grandmother,

Elizabeth, and, uh, we were kind

of wanting to honor the Logan

family, especially the women,

too, and we were wondering if

maybe we could share the name?

>> Maya: Share it?

>> Liam: Elizabeth.

>> Hope: So, um, yours,

obviously, is Lizzy Forrester,

and ours would be Beth Spencer.

But thats -- thats if its

okay with you.

>> Maya: Its touching that you

would even ask, but of course.

Lizzy, Beth -- theyre beautiful

names.

>> Hope: [ Giggles ] Thank you!

>> Maya: And this will make

Lizzy feel even closer to her

baby cousin.

I think its lovely.

>> Hope: [ Squeals ] I think so,

too.

>> Maya: [ Laughs ]

>> Liam: Holy cow, its settled.

Our daughters name is Beth.

[ Laughs ] Thats it!

>> Sir? Sir! The check?

>> Reese: Of course.

I was just coming to find you.

Youre late. [ Laughs ]

>> Steffy: Im happy for you.

I knew Dr. Buckingham was into

you at the party.

I just, uh, didnt know you were

ready for something like that.

>> Taylor: I didnt say I was.

I just said I enjoyed spending

time with him.

Hes a very fascinating man.

Hes so easy to talk to.

I was really able to open up

with him.

>> Steffy: You didnt tell him

about Bill, right?

>> Taylor: No.

But I was able to just really...

share my emotions with him about

the painful history with Brooke

and how our issues have been

passed on to you and Hope.

>> Steffy: Well, Im glad you

have someone in your corner.

But, remember, you are

vulnerable, and youre dealing

with a lot, so I think you

should just...take it slow?

>> Taylor: Oh, honey, no, look,

Im not getting ahead of myself.

Although, I do have to admit,

um...

things did go a little beyond

the friendly stage.

>> Steffy: What do you mean?

>> Taylor: He kissed me.

♪♪

>> Liam: You okay?

>> Hope: [ Sighs ] I just hope

Rick calls me back.

>> Liam: Mm.

>> Hope: Im sad about him and

Maya.

I dont know.

Do you think maybe we should

have waited to ask about the

baby name?

>> Liam: No! Why?

I mean, she was all for it.

>> Hope: You dont think she

felt pressured to say yes?

>> Liam: No, I -- Well, you

heard what she said.

Beth and Lizzy are gonna have

this special bond forever.

>> Hope: Beth.

>> Liam: Beth.

>> Hope: [ Giggles ]

>> Liam: It feels right.

>> Hope: [ Sighs ] It does.

Gosh, I am getting really

sentimental all of a sudden.

[ Laughs ] Maybe its the

season.

>> Liam: Yeah, or the pregnancy.

>> Hope: Or both.

>> Liam: Mm.

>> Hope: Mm.

You know, it is a really

beautiful time of year.

There shouldnt be any conflict

or tension or bad feelings.

I want to -- I want to avoid

that for your first Christmas

with Kelly.

>> Liam: I know.

>> Hope: You know, I think of

all the holidays I spent at

Erics house -- everyone coming

together, singing carols around

the piano...

And I dont recall anyone ever

arguing.

>> Liam: Well, that...

is the magic of Christmas.

>> Hope: Mm.

And this years gonna be just

like that, too.

And the next year is gonna be

even better because Kelly will

be old enough to get really

excited and...

Beth will be here, too.

>> Mr. Buckingham?

>> Reese: Uh, Dr. Buckingham.

>> Yes, sir.

Im sorry, Dr. Buckingham, but

your card has been declined.

>> Reese: Thats impossible.

Try to run it again, please.

>> I did, sir.

I can try another card, if youd

like.

>> Reese: No.

No, no, no, no, no.

I-I dont have time for that.

Just let me see --

Whats the total?

There you go.

Now, Ive got to get going to

work, and Im gonna give my

credit card company a call.

Thank you.

>> Hi.

>> Oh, hi.

>> Steffy: Zoes dad kissed you?

>> Taylor: Yeah.

It was very sweet, very

innocent.

I dont think itll go anywhere.

>> Steffy: Did he kiss you out

of the blue?

>> Taylor: No, we were talking

very honestly, and he was being

very supportive and

understanding...

I definitely was not expecting

to be kissed.

>> Steffy: Oh, come on.

You liked it.

And why not?

Hes intelligent, hes

handsome...

>> Taylor: Yeah, he is, and he

said he wanted to see me during

the holidays, and I think that

would be a good idea.

But I did also tell him that

my first priority was spending

time with my granddaughter,

every minute that I can.

Unless thats not all right with

you.

Honey, what is wrong?

>> Steffy: No, I-Im fine...

>> Taylor: No, somethings

wrong.

Im your mother, and I know when

youre upset.

>> Steffy: Mom, Im fine.

Hope came -- She came by

earlier.

She wanted to talk about

Christmas.

>> Taylor: Oh, no.

Oh -- Oh, my gosh.

Tell me she didnt.

Is she trying to keep Liam from

seeing Kelly on Christmas?

>> Steffy: No, she wants them to

be together.

All of us spending time together

as a family over Christmas.

>> Taylor: Oh, okay, well,

thats a relief.

But I can see why you would be a

little bit upset.

I mean, having to be there and

watch Hope right in the middle

of your celebration with your

little girl with Liam.

>> Steffy: No, I -- I wont have

to.

>> Taylor: What do you mean?

>> Steffy: I wont be there.

>> Taylor: Yes, of course you

will.

If Liam wants to spend Christmas

with Kelly, of course.

>> Steffy: She can be with him,

and we can celebrate on our own.

>> Taylor: What? Why?

That makes no sense at all!

Why are you not going to be

celebrating Christmas as a

family?

♪♪

>> Liam: So, what do you want to

do till Santa gets here?

>> Hope: Uh, we could make more

cookies.

>> Liam: [ Chuckles ]

Any more cookies, Im gonna

start to look like Santa.

>> Hope: Ooh!

Keep in mind that we have to

wrap Kellys present before we

go to Erics because we wont

have time after.

>> Liam: Right.

Yeah, we got to get on that.

Do you think, um...

Do you think we went a little

overboard with the presents?

>> Hope: Its your daughters

first Christmas.

>> Liam: Yeah.

>> Hope: [ Giggles ]

>> Liam: Yeah, its gonna be

awesome.

>> Hope: I hope so, too.

Hey, Liam...

You know I would never do

anything to keep you and Kelly

apart, especially not over the

holidays, right?

>> Liam: Yeah, I -- I know.

>> Hope: I just have concerns

about Taylor celebrating with

us.

Look, I know this has to be hard

on Steffy, but..

Hon, I mean, you understand,

right?

Steffy needs to tell her that

she cant spend Christmas with

us.

>> Taylor: She was just a little

fussy.

Shes back asleep now.

>> Steffy: Mm, good, thanks.

>> Taylor: Honey, I want to know

whats going on.

Why -- Why arent you spending

Christmas with Liam and Kelly?

You know, you cant miss

spending time together as a

family.

>> Steffy: I have to, Mom.

>> Taylor: Why?

I dont understand.

>> Steffy: Okay, but Ill be

with you.

>> Taylor: Me?

This is about me?

Thats it. [ Gasps ]

Oh, my gosh, she did it.

She did it!

Shes making you choose between

me and your daughter!

At Christmas!

>> Steffy: Okay -- Mom!

Liams gonna be with Kelly, and

then hes gonna drop her off.

>> Taylor: Oh, no! No, honey!

No, its Christmas!

>> Steffy: Its fine!

Itll still be Christmas.

We can celebrate together.

We can call Thomas --

>> Taylor: No! No! No, no, no!

No, youre going, and youre

going to spend the day -- the

whole day -- with your little

girl.

Youre going to Erics with

Liam.

>> Steffy: Mom, I dont want you

to be alone.

I want you there with me.

>> Taylor: No! I cant.

>> Steffy: Mom, please, can you

just stop?

>> Taylor: No!

No, its not fair!

But thats the way it is.

What I did to Bill was awful.

If I could go back and erase

that night, I would, honey.

I would, but I cant.

I have to pay the consequences

for it, not you.

Now, youre going to go, and

youre going to be the strong,

amazing woman you are.

And you are going to focus all

of your energy on your little

girl.

If you could ask for one thing

for Christmas, I know what youd

ask for.

[ Voice breaking ] Your family

back.

You, Liam, and Kelly under the

same roof, married again.

Its okay. You can say it.

Its what you want.

Its the way things were meant

to be.
