>> Hope: I can see her

when I close my eyes.

Can you?

>> Liam: Yeah.

That sweet little face, nose...

ten fingers...

>> Hope: When does the memory

fade?

Because someday, it will.

Someday well think...

"Did she have blonde hair?

Was that birthmark on her left

or her right leg?"

>> Liam: Left.

>> Hope: Yes, it was.

And we know that today because

we held her today, but well

never get to ever again.

>> Brooke: Hopes in this room,

right, Doctor?

>> Reese: Yes.

Shes in there with her husband.

>> Brooke: Oh! There you are.

Sweetie!

>> Hope: Hi!

>> Brooke: Oh, we got here as

soon as we possibly could.

Oh, baby!

Oh, you look exhausted.

How long were you in labor?

>> Hope: I, um -- I dont know.

>> Brooke: Well, where is my

beautiful little granddaughter,

huh?

Where are you hiding her?

>> Bill: Yeah, we want to see

the newest Spencer.

>> Brooke: I mean, she cant be

in the nursery.

This place looks too small for a

nursery.

>> Ridge: Maybe these guys need

a little time alone, come on.

>> Brooke: What do they need

time for?

Honey?

Is everything all right?

>> Hope: Can I talk to my mom

alone?

>> Liam: Of course.

Um, come with me.

Ill fill you in.

>> Brooke: Honey.

>> Reese: If you need

anything...

>> Brooke: What happened?

Is it Beth?

>> Hope: Shes gone.

>> Brooke: Gone?

[ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ] No!

No! No! [ Sobbing ] Oh, God!

>> Bill: Liam, what happened?

>> Ridge: Wheres your daughter?

Is she being examined?

Hope did everything she could.

>> Brooke: [ Crying ] Oh, honey,

Im sorry!

Im so sorry!

>> Hope: My baby...

My baby!

>> Brooke: Just let it out.

Just let it out.

>> Hope: [ Sobbing continues ]

Mommy!

>> Brooke: Oh, honey.

Its okay.

>> Liam: You know, Ill never

understand why something like

this would happen to Hope.

I mean, she radiates nothing but

goodness.

Have you ever met someone more

meant to be a mother?

>> Ridge: And she will be one

day.

Any child would be blessed to be

raised by her.

>> Liam: But why not Beth?

>> Bill: Theres no answer to

that, Liam.

>> Liam: Well, there should be!

There should be reason, there

should be meaning in all of

this!

>> Bill: No. No.

If you can find any meaning in

this at all, let it be that it

brought you and your wife

closer.

Stay by her side.

Allow her to be by yours.

Cry with her.

Be silent with her.

Just be what each other needs.

>> Reese: Not to interrupt,

but I have the paperwork.

>> Liam: Yeah, okay.

>> Reese: I marked the spots for

you to sign.

>> Liam: Why?

What -- What happened, huh?

What is this?

What happened in there?

Everything was fine!

She was happy, the baby was

kicking, and now shes just --

youre just telling me shes

gone?

How -- You tell me, Doctor.

How does that happen?

What happened to my little girl

in there?

>> Hope: I forget what the

doctor called it.

Placenta...rupture, maybe?

I dont -- Abruption?

I dont know. I dont know.

I couldnt process it.

All I could hear was silence.

>> Brooke: Silence?

>> Hope: Newborns are supposed

to cry, gurgle, the sound of

breath...

Even that was missing.

It was just quiet.

>> Brooke: Oh, honey.

I should have been here for you.

Im sorry.

>> Hope: No. No, no.

I dont wish that on you.

I dont wish that on anyone.

>> Brooke: For you to go through

this alone...

>> Hope: Liam was here.

Hes the one that told me.

>> Brooke: What?

>> Hope: I wasnt awake when

she -- I passed out.

>> Brooke: Oh, my God, Hope.

Are you okay?

>> Hope: No. No, Im not.

>> Brooke: No, physically, I

mean.

>> Hope: I dont know, I guess I

will be, I just...

I tried so hard.

And the labor came so fast,

and I was pushing, and...

and Beth was ready to come into

this world, and...

[ Sobbing ]

I had one job to do!

I had one job, and I failed!

>> Brooke: Oh, stop. Please.

Dont say that.

>> Hope: I did!

If I had been awake, I --

I could have done something!

>> Brooke: No.

>> Hope: Yes!

>> Brooke: You would have

witnessed a stillbirth.

>> Hope: No, I could have done

something!

I could have done anything!

I would have been able to

prevent it!

>> Brooke: Listen to me.

You couldnt prevent that.

Placental abruption --

Is that what you called it?

Look, Im not a doctor, but I

have heard of that, and its

rare, but theres not much you

can do about it, whether youre

awake or not, so, please, honey,

dont blame yourself.

>> Hope: I waited months.

Ive waited months to see her

and to love her...

and you think I wont blame

myself?

>> Brooke: I know you will,

but I am telling not to.

>> Hope: Why...

Why Beth? Why?

Why my baby?

>> Brooke: Come here. Come here.

>> Hope: [ Sobbing ]

>> Reese: Why dont we do this

later?

I didnt mean to rush you.

>> Bill: I think my son deserves

an answer to his question.

His daughter died tonight.

Can you tell us why?

>> Reese: Are you asking if it

was human error?

>> Bill: Im just trying to

understand exactly what

happened.

>> Reese: The placenta detached

from the womb.

It means the baby didnt get the

nutrients and the oxygen that

she needed.

Its very unusual.

It only happens --

>> Liam: Why, though?

Why does it happen?

I mean, I -- Is there something

that caused it?

I want to know this in case we

try again.

>> Reese: Its not preventable,

but the chances of you going

through this are very slim.

Plus, there are things that you

can do to decrease the risk.

Hopes OB-GYN will review those

with you when and if the time

comes.

[ Telephone rings ]

I should go check that.

Look, Im a father myself.

I cant begin to imagine the

pain that youre in.

Im sorry.

Im terribly, terribly sorry.

[ Ringing continues ]

>> Hope: You remember early in

the pregnancy when I was

cramping?

>> Brooke: Yes.

>> Hope: Part of me almost

wishes...

>> Brooke: Oh, honey, you dont

mean that.

>> Hope: I mean, it would have

been painful and horrible, but

not like this.

You know, maybe the mistake was

naming her because I got --

I got too confident.

>> Brooke: Honey, what are you

talking about?

A lot of people name their

babies before theyre born.

In fact, they name them before

they even get pregnant.

So, no, it was no mistake.

You did nothing wrong.

>> Hope: Yes, I did!

Yes, I did!

I obviously did because just

hours ago she was alive inside

of me, and she was kicking, I

could feel her.

And I just -- I needed to do the

one thing that she needed me to

do, which was deliver her into

this world safely...

Whats wrong with me?

>> Brooke: Honey, nothing!

Nothing is wrong.

>> Hope: I failed my daughter,

I failed my husband!

>> Brooke: No, Liam would not

feel that way.

>> Hope: No.

No, I should have just stayed in

Los Angeles and put my daughter

first instead of this stupid

babymoon idea.

>> Brooke: Will you stop it?

Listen to me.

You did nothing wrong.

>> Hope: But my body did.

>> Brooke: Honey...

>> Hope: Millions of children

are born every day, and my body

fails me.

It lets me carry a baby almost

the full term...

She was really beautiful.

I got to hold her, and I tried

to give her all of my love...

but shell never know.

Shell never know.

>> Brooke: She will.

Shell know. Trust me.

Shell know.

>> Brooke: I know it feels like

youll never get past this,

but you will.

You have so many people in your

life, sweetheart.

We all care about you so much.

>> Liam: Hey.

Were all in this together,

okay?

Youre surrounded by family.

>> Ridge: No doubt about that.

>> Bill: Were here for you.

>> Hope: I just want to go home.

>> Liam: Were gonna go home,

and youre gonna be in bed,

youre gonna be in your own bed,

and youre gonna get the rest

you need.

>> Hope: [ Scoffs ] Rest?

Is that even possible?

>> Liam: It is with you.

Everythings possible.

Even recovering from this.

I know moving forward is not

gonna be easy for either of us,

but...

Were gonna do it together.

Were gonna grieve together,

were gonna lean on each other,

were gonna lean on them.

The people in our life who care

about us.

Thats how were gonna get

through it.

You know, weve been imagining

this life with Beth for months

now.

We built up a whole world in our

minds, and...

Well, it turns out Beth isnt

coming home.

But we are.

We are coming home because...

because life moves on.

>> Hope: One life isnt.

>> Liam: [ Sniffles ] Yeah.

Do you think we could, um,

do, like, a...

I dont know how to --

I just -- I want to talk to her,

you know?

I want to, like...

I want to say something.

Can we do that?

>> Hope: I dont think I can do

that.

>> Liam: You dont have to.

Ill do it. Ill do it for you.

Ill do it for both of us.

Can we join hands? Can we --

Can we do that, maybe?

Beth, Im your dad.

This is your mom.

Youre not, um --

Youre not with us.

Youre not with us anymore

physically, but youre still

here, in a way.

And, um...

Even though we wanted so much

more...

we wanted so much more of you,

we can learn to be okay with --

with what you were able to give

us.

You are so loved.

You are so loved by everyone in

this room, and youre gonna be

in our hearts forever, and

please know that.

Please know that, my sweet...

sweet little angel.

>> Hope: I know youre there,

and I know youre there

watching...

And I just want to say I am...

so, so sorry that you couldnt

stay here with us, and know that

not a day will go by without me

thinking of you.

And I feel your spirit, and it

is so strong, and I still feel

you.

I feel you here with me as if

you were in my arms.

And I feel that and I know that

because you were a part of me,

and you will always be a part of

me.

I know youre with us, and even

though I cant touch you

anymore, I can still tell you

every day...

that I love you.

I love you. I love you.

[ Sobbing ] Mommy loves you.
