♪♪ >> Ridge: I hope seeing Steffys

new baby isnt too hard on your daughter.

>> Brooke: [ Clears throat ] Yeah.

She had so many questions.

It was just consuming her.

So I thought it would be good for Hope to do that.

I mean, maybe I was wrong.

>> Ridge: No, I-I dont think you were.

I dont think she would have gone if she didnt think she was

ready.

>> Brooke: And Liams there, so shes not gonna be alone.

>> Ridge: You know what I appreciate?

I appreciate your daughter trying to be excited for Steffy.

>> Brooke: Me too.

Shes being very brave about this adoption.

>> Ridge: Its amazing how fast it all happened, huh?

>> Brooke: I know.

Steffy is accepting another little girl into her family,

and thats wonderful.

But I cant help but wonder how its going to affect Hope.

>> Hope: Look at you.

Its nice to meet you, Phoebe.

Were so glad you came into this world, and...

now youre a part of this family.

>> Hope: Youre gonna have the best life.

And youre gonna be so, so loved.

>> Charlie: Ladies, what have I told you about

riding those scooters up and down the hallway?

Hm? Hm? Hm?

>> Tiffany: You saw that?

>> Charlie: Im head of security.

I got eyes everywhere.

>> Zoe: Okay, well, then, obviously you can see how

quickly weve been getting things done.

Yeah.

Weve been zipping from here to there, and its been a lot more

efficient.

>> Tiffany: You should try it, Charlie.

Think of how fast you could take down a perp on one of those

bad boys.

>> Charlie: You know, I guess I would look pretty good on one

of those copper scooters, huh?

[ Zoe and Tiffany chuckle ] >> Reese: Hey.

>> Zoe: Dad!

Oh, Im so glad that youre here.

Ive really been worried about you.

>> Reese: Well, you dont need to worry about me anymore.

And, thank God, I dont have to worry about you, either.

>> Zoe: Dad, what are you talking about?

♪♪ >> Charlie: Well, I can assure

you, Dr. Buckingham, you dont have to have any safety concerns

here at Forrester Creations.

I have everything under control.

>> Reese: [ Chuckles ] I appreciate that, Charlie.

In fact, Im counting on you to take care of my little girl and

her buddy Tiffany, there.

>> Tiffany: Thanks, Dr. B.

>> Zoe: Uh, sorry, but youre just acting rather weird,

okay?

So whats going on?

>> Reese: Well, honey, thats part of why I came,

is to say goodbye.

>> Zoe: What?

>> Reese: Im leaving Los Angeles.

Im headed back to London.

>> Ridge: We can worry about this as much as we want.

Its not gonna change anything.

Its gonna be difficult.

Its gonna bring up a lot of feelings for your daughter.

>> Brooke: Im glad you understand.

>> Ridge: I do.

>> Taylor: Hey -- Oh.

>> Ridge: Oh.

>> Taylor: Whoa. Wow.

>> Ridge: Hey.

>> Taylor: Uh, sorry.

>> Brooke: Taylor.

>> Taylor: Uh...

>> Brooke: Uh, I didnt realize that you were here.

>> Taylor: Yeah.

Um, Brooke, I wanted to talk to you.

Im -- Im sure you know by now about baby Phoebe.

>> Brooke: Oh, yes.

Congratulations.

>> Ridge: And were excited to meet our new granddaughter.

Hows she doing?

>> Taylor: Shes doing great.

Um... And Steffy, shes overwhelmed, of course,

but ecstatic.

But I want to talk to you about how this whole thing might be

affecting Hope.

>> Ridge: Well, Hope already knows.

It was only fair to give her a heads up.

>> Taylor: [ Inhales sharply ] How did she react?

>> Brooke: Shes emotional.

But shes very excited for Steffy.

In fact, shes over there with Liam, meeting baby Phoebe

right now.

>> Hope: Shes beautiful, Steffy.

>> Steffy: I wish I could take the credit, but the birth

parents are responsible for that.

Shes just so tiny. So innocent.

Youre gonna be a good little sister to Kelly, arent you?

Shes just gonna adore you.

Shes gonna be protective of you, and she might even let you

borrow her clothes.

Yeah.

Shes such a sweetheart.

She feels like family.

>> Brooke: You think it was a mistake?

>> Taylor: Well, I -- I just dont think it was very wise

for her emotions to go and see Phoebe right now.

>> Brooke: Im the one who suggested it, but Hope decided

to go over there to Steffys.

>> Ridge: She wants to be supportive.

She knows its an important time for Steffy.

>> Brooke: And for Kelly.

She always wants to put the children first.

>> Ridge: Its true.

They made that bargain.

Whatever happens between the three of them,

the kids always come first.

You got to admire that.

>> Taylor: Okay.

Well, I mean, it seems like Hope is handling the adoption very

well so far, and I appreciate the effort shes making, but...

[ Sighs ] You know, it just seems to me...

Being around Phoebe, its got to be so painful

for her to -- to -- Its got to be a reminder

of what she lost.

>> Brooke: Well, you know whats remarkable to me is that an

infant was placed with Steffy so quickly.

So, you said this was through a connection of yours?

>> Taylor: Yes. Heh...

It all just sort of fell into place.

Steffy was very lucky.

>> Ridge: And that babys pretty lucky, too.

>> Taylor: Yeah.

I mean, the timing is not great.

I know that.

But a baby is a gift.

I mean, I really believe that this baby was always meant

to be a part of our family.

>> Zoe: Dad, you cant just spring this on me.

I mean, when were you even planning on leaving?

>> Reese: Today. [ Sighs ] >> Zoe: Today?!

Why? Did -- Did something happen?

>> Reese: Look, Im -- Im not in any trouble, if thats

what youre wondering.

Im just transferring back.

Theres been a lot of re-shuffling.

Plus, I can re-focus on my research.

I just think that going back to London is the best idea,

especially for your sake.

>> Zoe: Why would you say that?

I-I dont want you to go.

>> Reese: Zoe, me being here stresses you out.

I know it does.

>> Zoe: Okay, at first.

I mean, Ill admit, when you just showed up out of the blue,

it really did worry me.

But...

Dad, Ive actually enjoyed having you here.

>> Reese: And Ive loved our time together.

But I dont want to complicate your life any more than I have.

Plus, I have my work.

>> Zoe: Yeah, but you have your job at the hospital,

and the clinic on Catalina.

Okay, you dont need to go back to England.

>> Reese: I wish it -- >> Zoe: You can just -- Listen.

You can build your practice here.

>> Reese: I wish it were that simple.

Youll be good.

I know you will be.

Youre a kind, honest person.

And I love you more than anything.

Ive loved being here with you.

And I couldnt be any prouder.

My girl, modeling for Forrester Creations?

What? That is something!

>> Zoe: Dad...

[ Voice breaking ] You really dont have to leave.

>> Reese: Ill come back, and Ill visit,

and youll come home, and youll see me.

It doesnt matter where I am or how grown you are.

Ill always be your dad.

And anytime you need me, Ill come running.

You keep making your dreams happen.

You keep it up with your painting.

>> Zoe: [ Sobs, sighs ] >> Reese: You do what makes you

happy.

You dont let this city change you.

>> Zoe: I wont.

>> Reese: I love you more than anything, kiddo.

You mean the world to me.

>> Zoe: [ Sniffles ] I love you, too, Dad.

>> Zoe: [ Sniffles ] I love you, too, Dad.

>> Hope: I cant stop staring at her.

>> Steffy: Yeah, she has that effect on me, too.

Look, shes already falling in love with her Aunt Hope.

Looks like you two have a special bond.

>> Hope: Gosh, shes such a good baby.

Im so happy that she found her family.

>> Steffy: Im glad you got to meet her.

>> Liam: Um, I mean, maybe -- maybe its time for a bottle?

>> Steffy: Oh, no.

Shell let us know when shes hungry.

>> Liam: Okay.

>> Hope: Are you hungry, Phoebe?

No? Youre all cozy right here?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, me too.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, me too.

>> Ridge: That went as well as could be expected.

>> Brooke: Ah, Taylor and I know how to put aside our differences

and focus on the children.

>> Ridge: Hey.

Im proud of you.

Im proud of how youre handling this adoption.

>> Brooke: Well, it does bother me on some level, being so close

to losing Beth.

>> Ridge: Well, youre dealing with your own grief.

And youre there for Hope.

Its not an easy position to be in.

>> Brooke: And I would do anything I could to take away

Hopes pain.

But I think its just gonna take some time.

Time for her to heal.

>> Ridge: And family.

If she allows us to be there.

>> Brooke: [ Sighs ] I just cant believe that

Steffy is going to have two daughters in her family, and

Hope...

Do you think shell ever hold her own child?

>> Ridge: [ Sighs ] Yeah, she will.

>> Brooke: I mean, it would break my heart if she --

she never got to experience that bond between a mother

and a-a baby.

>> Ridge: Well, shes still struggling.

But shes got you. Shes got us.

Shes got Liam.

>> Brooke: [ Sighs ] >> Ridge: Well get her

through this.

>> Brooke: Yeah, I know. I know.

>> Ridge: And Phoebe is gonna be great for everybody.

>> Brooke: Heh.

>> Ridge: Right? Even Hope.

Kids, little babies, theyre -- they heal things, right?

>> Brooke: Yes. Youre right.

Children are a blessing.

And were gonna love this Phoebe.

Welcome her into our family.

And eventually...

Hope will do that, too.

[ Knock on door ] >> Taylor: Reese?

>> Reese: Taylor.

>> Taylor: Whoa! Heh...

Hi.

Wow, you -- Its true.

You really are leaving.

>> Reese: Yep.

The transfer came through.

Im leaving on a red-eye tonight.

>> Taylor: Well, Im -- Im glad I caught you before you left.

>> Reese: Me too.

Hows the baby?

>> Taylor: Oh, Phoebe is amazing.

Steffys just absolutely thrilled.

>> Reese: Well, Im glad to hear that.

>> Taylor: She is a wonderful mother, Reese.

>> Reese: I have no doubt.

Thats why I felt comfortable introducing you to the

birth mother.

>> Taylor: Yes, and Im so grateful.

[ Stammers ] I will never be able to thank

you enough for what youve done for me and Steffy.

[ Kelly cries on monitor ] >> Steffy: Oh.

Did you hear that?

Phoebe, your older sisters up.

Ill be right back.

>> Liam: Okay.

>> Steffy: Ohh. Look who it is.

>> Liam: Hi, Kelly!

>> Hope: Hi.

>> Steffy: Kelly, here she is.

Do you remember your little sister?

>> Hope: Oh, my gosh.

I swear I just saw a smile.

>> Steffy: [ Chuckles ] >> Hope: Did you just smile,

Phoebe?

>> Liam: Im telling you, theyre already in cahoots with

each other.

>> Steffy: Well -- ha -- thats already destroying my life,

clearly.

[ Laughs ] >> Liam: [ Chuckles ]

>> Hope: Oh, theyre gonna be the best of friends.

>> Steffy: Yeah, yeah.

>> Hope: Can you imagine all the fun theyre gonna have together?

>> Steffy: Gosh!

Kelly is so much bigger than Phoebe.

>> Liam: I was just thinking the same thing.

>> Hope: Theyre so lucky to have each other.

And this is how we originally saw it.

Me holding my daughter, and you holding Kelly.

Thats how it was supposed to be with Beth.

>> Steffy: Hope, Im gonna need some help.

And Phoebes gonna need all the family she can get.

I understand if this is difficult for you, but Id like

for you to be part of her life.

>> Hope: Id like that, too.

>> Taylor: Well, Im sad to see you go.

I-I didnt know you were going back to London so soon.

>> Reese: Its time.

>> Taylor: You werent here that long.

>> Reese: I accomplished what I needed to do.

>> Taylor: Right, right.

And one of those things was making sure your daughter got

settled into L.A.

>> Reese: Yeah.

My daughter means the world to me.

I would do anything to make sure that she is safe and happy.

>> Taylor: I am gonna miss you, Reese.

And youve made such a huge impact on Steffy and my life in

such a short amount of time.

The way you came into our life, and you -- you helped us find

that beautiful little girl...

I believe its like divine intervention, you know?

Steffy has suffered so much in her life -- so much loss and so

much disappointment.

She lost her twin.

She lost Liam.

She lost a baby of her own before Kelly.

And she puts up a strong front, but...

This gift youve provided has truly given her a lot of

hope.

Thank you.

>> Liam: Well?

That couldnt have been easy.

>> Hope: I wanted to meet her.

>> Liam: Yeah.

Given all the hell youve been through, the courage it must

have taken to put your pain aside, to go over to that house,

to hold that baby, to welcome her into the family...

Im proud of you.

>> Hope: Well, Phoebes gonna be part of our lives for a very

long time.

>> Liam: Yeah.

Shes my daughters sister.

Were gonna be seeing a lot of her.

>> Hope: She was beautiful.

>> Liam: Yeah, she was.

>> Hope: I-I cant stop thinking about her.

You know, when I held her, it was like...

I dont know. This...

energy just went throughout my body, this warmth.

And -- and I know I dont -- Its hard to explain, but...

>> Liam: No, I -- I felt the same thing.

I mean, Im surprised you held it together.

Youve been dealing with so much.

>> Hope: Yeah.

You know, that precious little girl,

it was surreal, holding her.

It was like...

I wanted to close my eyes and pretend like she was mine.

Pretend like it was our Beth.

And I know thats a terrible thing to say.

I know it is Steffys baby, and our baby died.

But, you know, just for that moment, I just wanted to know

what it would be like to hold my own daughter.

What it would feel like to be a mom.

Liam, I cant help but feel like that that life should have been

ours.

That that little baby that I was holding in our arms,

that it should have been Beth.

[ Crying ] Our sweet little baby Beth.

[ Crying ] Our sweet little baby Beth.

>> Steffy: Im here.

Mommys here, sweetheart.

Mommys here.
