>> Taylor: Reese, if this isnt

your baby, then where did it

come from?

>> Reese: Im so sorry.

I didnt mean to surprise you

like this.

But, uh, I couldnt explain it

to you on the phone.

>> Taylor: Oh, well, now I think

you should, because I-I dont

know what this is.

>> Reese: Nothing to be alarmed

about.

>> Taylor: Reese, I want to know

why you have a baby in your

apartment.

A baby you never mentioned to me

before.

Just tell me,

where did this child come from?

>> Hope: I feel like Im being

crushed by this weight

on my heart.

How can you miss someone just

so, so much when you didnt

even meet them yet?

>> Brooke: Beth was a part of

you.

She always will be.

>> Hope: I dont understand

how this could happen.

[ Crying ]

How could I lose my baby?

>> Steffy: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ]

Mom, you have keys!

Liam. Hi.

>> Liam: Can I come in?

>> Steffy: Yeah.

Yeah, of course.

Is everything all right?

Something happened?

>> Liam: Hard day.

Just trying to keep it together.

>> Steffy: Im so sorry, Liam.

I know it doesnt help,

but I am.

>> Liam: Would it be okay, um...

Can I see Kelly?

I know -- I know Im not --

I cant just be showing up here

all the time, but, um...

Id really love to see Kelly.

♪♪

>> Liam: I probably shouldve

called you, or --

or texted or something.

>> Steffy: No, no. Its okay.

>> Liam: Hope wanted me to get

out of the house.

>> Steffy: Shes probably right.

>> Liam: Yeah, but I

didnt want to leave her.

And Ive just been...

driving around.

>> Steffy: Well, Im glad youre

here.

You want anything?

>> Liam: No.

Just need to see my daughter.

>> Brooke: You shouldnt be

alone right now.

>> Hope: Liam will be back soon.

>> Brooke: You need to find a

way to work through this

together.

>> Hope: Were trying.

>> Brooke: I know that youre

brave, and that youre strong,

but you cant isolate yourself,

sweetheart.

You need to lean on people.

And maybe just...

maybe more than just Liam.

I was thinking [Sighs]

that a support group

might not be a bad idea.

>> Hope: I understand what

youre trying to say, Mom.

But right now,

all I want to do is hold

my little girl.

>> Taylor: Answer me, Reese.

Wh-- [ Sighs ]

What are you doing with a baby?

Who are you?

Whats going on?

>> Florence: I -- I didnt want

to interrupt, but...

Hi.

Im Florence.

>> Taylor: Fl-Florence.

>> Florence: Dr. Buckingham

is holding my baby.

>> Steffy: Shell be awake soon.

>> Liam: Is she feeling

any better?

>> Steffy: Yeah.

Yeah, the doctor said it was

just a virus.

>> Liam: Good.

Listen, I know you got

stuff to do.

I mean, I-Im happy to

wait here alone.

>> Steffy: No, no. Its --

Its fine.

But, hey, if you dont --

you dont want to talk,

Im not gonna push.

>> Liam: I just...

barely feel anything, you know?

Its like Im...

Its like Im underwater.

I keep thinking, "Well,

maybe if I --

Maybe if I hold Kelly,

Ill be able to breathe again."

Which is selfish.

>> Steffy: No, it isnt.

>> Liam: No, it is selfish,

because I get to come here

and hold my daughter.

What can Hope do?

>> Steffy: Shed understand.

>> Liam: Its like, Im trying

to be strong for Hope.

You know, Im trying to be

the husband that I know

she needs me to be,

but what can I do, really?

We had one moment with Beth.

Hope -- Hope got to hold

her daughter in her arms

for one moment.

Its just -- Its crippling.

And I know...

theres not a thing

a person in the world

can do to take the pain away.

I know that.

>> Hope: I went for a walk

after the memorial.

>> Brooke: Beautiful day.

>> Hope: I know.

Its strange.

>> Brooke: What?

>> Hope: The sun was shining.

I heard birds in the trees

and cars on the road.

And to everyone else,

its just...

a normal day.

>> Brooke: Youre still in

shock, sweetheart.

You need to give yourself time.

>> Hope: You know, I thought if

I were really quiet, and really

paid attention to the clouds

and the wind, I might...

feel something.

You know how people look for

signs in -- in nature, and...

You know, I thought I might find

some peace.

>> Brooke: Yeah.

That can be comforting.

Knowing that Beth is

looking down on you,

loving you.

Shes just letting you know

that shes okay.

>> Hope: [ Sniffles ]

Except...

I didnt feel anything

like that.

I didnt feel Beth

looking down on me at all.

>> Brooke: Oh, honey.

>> Florence: So, Dr. Buckingham

didnt tell you about me?

>> Reese: I was just about to.

>> Florence: Well,

Im not from Los Angeles.

I live in Vegas, where Im a

dealer at a big casino.

Dr. Buckingham is just helping

me with the baby.

>> Taylor: Hes your doctor?

>> Florence: Not exactly.

Hes, um...

I contacted him through an

agency.

There are a lot of

really great people out there

who want to help women like me

find homes for their babies.

And Dr. Buckingham

is one of them.

>> Taylor: [ Scoffs ]

Y-youre putting your baby

up for adoption?

>> Florence: If he can

help me find the

right home for her, then...

>> Liam: Im sorry.

I know this is

affecting you, too.

>> Steffy: Nothing like what

youre going through.

>> Liam: Well, Kelly lost her

half-sister.

And I know you wanted

them to be close.

>> Steffy: I imagined it the

same way you did.

>> Liam: I think it could have

happened.

You know, I know the Taylor

thing was kind of a problem,

but its not like we wouldnt

have worked through that.

>> Steffy: Im sorry we wont

get that chance.

>> Steffy: You and Hope would

have been amazing parents to

Beth.

>> Liam: You still looking into

the adoption thing?

>> Steffy: Oh, we dont have to

talk about that.

>> Liam: No, its okay.

I know you -- I know

that you wanted Kelly to have a

sister close to her age so --

so she could share the kind of

experiences you had with --

with Phoebe.

Its just that

adoption is the only way now.

>> Steffy: You know,

lets just have this

conversation another time.

>> Liam: Its fine.

>> Steffy: Liam,

I dont want to --

>> Liam: Its fine. I --

You can tell me this.

Was it just a-a fantasy, or...?

>> Steffy: I mean...

Yeah, Ive been seriously

considering it.

I-I met with an agency to talk

about what it would entail.

But, you know, adoption

is a very involved process.

It doesnt just happen

overnight.

It takes time.

Now, after everything, my focus

is on -- on you and Hope,

and Kelly and my mom.

Will I adopt? I -- [ Sighs ]

I dont know.

I think itd be a wonderful idea

for Kelly, but, um...

I have no idea

when that would happen.

>> Brooke: Whatever youre

feeling right now is all right.

Everybody feels grief in

different ways.

>> Hope: But I didnt feel

anything.

What, am I -- am I being

foolish, just searching for

Beths spirit in the clouds, in

the sky, in the trees?

>> Brooke: No, honey.

If it helps, whats the harm?

>> Hope: [ Sobs ]

But she wasnt there.

>> Brooke: Okay.

Well, youll find her in

different places.

Youll find her in your --

in your heart, in your dreams.

You said earlier that

you felt that she wasnt gone.

>> Hope: That was different.

It was -- Its hard to explain.

This feeling, its like...

She was a part of me

for almost nine months, and --

and we shared everything.

And I --

All I want to know is that my

little girl is all right,

and I just -- I want to feel...

some sort of connection

to her again.

>> Brooke: Oh, honey. Come here.

>> Florence: I dont know what

I would have done without

Dr. Buckingham.

>> Taylor: He took care of you?

>> Florence: He took care of

everything.

I was a wreck.

I cant believe I actually

thought my rotten boyfriend

would actually stick around.

>> Taylor: So the father knows?

>> Florence: Yeah.

He doesnt want anything to do

with her or me.

>> Reese: [ Sighs ]

Sadly, not an unusual story.

>> Florence: I just knew I

couldnt be a single mother.

My life has been pretty messed

up recently, and I dont have

any family here,

anyone who can help.

I was --

I was getting pretty desperate.

So, I thought that adoption

really just made the most sense,

for me and for the baby.

I hate to admit it, but, um,

I just really need the money.

>> Taylor: No, oh, it sounds

like a very stressful situation.

>> Florence: It really was.

But then I met up with the doc,

and everything has really been

falling into place finally,

you know?

I -- I have this

little bit of hope.

>> Taylor: So thats why youre

here with Dr. Buckingham?

>> Florence: Yes.

>> Reese: This all happened very

quickly, and with everything

going on, I-I just didnt have

the time to bring it up.

>> Taylor: Bring it up?

>> Reese: After our conversation

about your daughters situation.

>> Taylor: Wait a minute.

Are you --

Are you saying that

Steffy could adopt this baby?

>> Steffy: Theres Daddy.

>> Liam: Oh! [ Chuckles ]

Hey, baby girl.

Oh, wow.

Look how beautiful you are.

You are so pretty.

[ Sniffles ]

Daddy loves you so much.

I just want to hold her and

protect her from everything

in the world.

[ Sighs ]

You know you have your whole

life ahead of you, right?

Daddys gonna be there

for all of it.

[ Sobs ]

[ Sighs ]

You never got a chance

to meet your sister, but...

I think shes watching over you

now.

I think shes watching over

all of us.

[ Chokes ]

And I think she would

want us to be grateful,

and happy,

and to love each other.

I love you.

I love you so much.

[ Crying ]

>> Hope: Its not supposed to

be like this.

>> Brooke: [ Sighs ]

I know, sweetheart.

>> Hope: Though Im glad

youre here.

But Im supposed to be

holding my baby,

not my mother holding me.

>> Brooke: Well, if this is

all I can do for you,

I will hold you for as long

as you need me to.

>> Hope: Because thats what

mothers do.

Comfort their babies.

Heh...

And thats what I would have

done for Beth.

I would have consoled her.

And I -- I would have kept her

safe.

>> Brooke: I know.

I know you would have.

Honey, listen to me.

You will get through this.

>> Hope: How?

>> Brooke: You just have to be

gentle with yourself,

and you have to be patient.

And this pain will subside.

Oh, I know its not gonna be

easy.

And you will never forget about

Beth.

And, somehow, some way,

Beth will always know

just how much you love her.

>> Reese: Taylor, you, uh --

You mentioned that Steffy was

thinking about adoption.

I was under the impression

that she was serious.

>> Taylor: Well, shes made some

inquiries.

>> Reese: You asked if there was

anything that I could do to

help.

>> Taylor: Yeah, I-I thought

maybe you would recommend an

agency or give me some advice.

>> Reese: Well, that was my

intention.

I have a lot of contacts

in that area.

Ive facilitated

a few adoptions.

And so, when Florence reached

out to me on one of those

networks, I thought I could

help her and Steffy.

>> Taylor: So... [ Sighs ]

This beautiful little baby...

Steffy could adopt her?

>> Reese: If all parties agree.

>> Taylor: [ Scoffs ]

>> Florence: She deserves a

better life than I could ever

give her.

>> Reese: Look, I know this

timing is less than ideal,

and your family is going through

so much, and Steffy may not be

ready.

But...

whens the next time that --

that a miraculous opportunity

like this may come along, hm?

Hey.

>> Taylor: I mean, Steffy has

met with some agencies just to

get some information, but

this is really the last thing I

expected when you asked me to

come over here.

>> Reese: I know.

This whole thing has been

mind-boggling to me, too.

>> Taylor: I mean,

I-Ill talk to her.

I-I dont know what my daughter

will say, but, um, I-I will

talk to her.

This whole thing has just

come out of the blue.

>> Reese: Well, considering what

happened to Hope on Catalina,

not to mention Zoe working for

Forrester, I think its best to

leave my name out of it when

talking to Steffy or anybody

about the potential adoption.

>> Taylor: Oh, yeah. Understood.

>> Reese: Thank you.

>> Taylor: Florence, I --

I dont know you, but I think

its such a brave decision

youve made, giving up

your little girl so she can have

the best possible chance

at a good life.

It takes a lot of

strength to do that.

I mean, I-I -- for me, as a

mother, I dont know

how you found the courage.

I admire it, and your unselfish

love you have for this child.

Shes so little! [ Chuckles ]

>> Reese: And healthy.

Completely healthy.

In the right environment,

shell thrive.

I know it.

Talk to your daughter. Please.

>> Taylor: I will. I will.

Ill talk to her

as soon as I can.
