document: Brooke: Eric should be here soon. Can you wait for him?
  Stephanie:  Grunting 
  Brooke: Stephanie, what are you doing?
  Stephanie: I want to get this off.  Coughing 
  Brooke: Okay.
  Stephanie:  Coughs   Breathing heavily   Indistinct conversation 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope:  Sighs  I guess I missed the meeting. What are you doing here?
  Eric: Well, I was here for the meeting, and, uh, now I'm trying to get back to my wife.
  Hope: Is that what I think it is?
  Pam: Yeah. It's the--the tribute.
  Rick: The video that we shot at Stephanie's party.
  Eric: I just don't know if I should show it to her now that everything's happening with her so fast now, and it's just-- I don't want it to upset her.
  Rick: No, no, Dad, that's-- that's not what we intended.
  Eric: I know. Of course not.
  Pam: Well, Eric, maybe you should just take a look at it first, and then you could decide after?  Exhales deeply 
  Tony: What do you want?
  Kristen: You go first.
  Tony:  Sighs  You never treated me like a walking disease, not the way people do when they learn that I am H.I.V. positive. You always treated me like a person.
  Kristen: I want you to know, Mom, you were a good mom.  Voice breaking  A good mom. And I-I'll never forget that.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Katie: It's happening again. My--my heart is--
  Taylor: Katie, there's nothing wrong with your heart.
  Katie: Then why do I feel like I'm dying?
  Taylor: That's what is so horrendous about postpartum depression.
  Katie:  Sniffles 
  Taylor: You know, in your body's efforts to return to normal, it does just the opposite, and it ends up robbing you of all of the beautiful dreams you had of being a mother.
  Katie:  Crying  Can you help me? Please help me.  Sobbing 
  Taylor: Katie, do you want your life back?
  Katie: Not if it's only gonna be taken away from me. My son needs someone who's always gonna be there for him.
  Taylor: He's a part of you. There is no better person for him to be his mother than you.
  Katie: What if something's wrong with him? He--he would just cry and cry as if he knew that I had passed on something terrible to him.
  Taylor: That's how life is. Sometimes it's precious. Sometimes it's terrible.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Thorne: I just felt like I never could get that close to you because I didn't think that you had enough love for more than one son. And I understand now that you are-- you were letting me go my own way because that is what I needed.
  Felicia: Aah. Sorry. This is so surreal. You know, to think that for so many years, I've lived by the mantra, "I am not my mother. I am not my mother." Well, who am I now?  Chuckles 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Stephanie:  Coughing  Take this off for me. Take this off.  Coughs  Take--take the ring off.  Coughing 
  Brooke: Okay. I--the--
  Stephanie: No, no, no.  Coughing  No.
  Brooke: Okay, I-I don't understand what you want. What?
  Stephanie: Give me one back. This one. This one.
  Brooke: Here, let me...
  Stephanie: No.  Coughing 
  Brooke:  Moans 
  Stephanie:  Coughing   Breathing heavily  Eric.
  Brooke: Yes. He loves you very much.
  Stephanie:  Chuckles  Finally.
  Brooke:  Chuckles 
  Stephanie:  Coughs  That ring is for you. I want you to have it.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Taylor: Katie, I l-- I lost a child. I lost my daughter Phoebe. You've been agonizing over leaving Will, and you don't even know. He could leave you. Tomorrow is promised to no one. And do you really want him to grow up and not be able to remember his mother's love, no matter how much time you have?
  Katie:  Crying  I've been so selfish.
  Taylor: No, you've been sick.
  Katie: I don't want to die. I don't.  Crying 
  Taylor: Of course, you don't.
  Katie: I want my baby. I want my son.  Sobbing 
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Bill: But I have a little secret to share with you. I think we're kindred spirits. You don't suffer fools lightly, you have no low opinion of yourself. Like the mama bear you are, you are fiercely protective of your family, those that you love. Those that you don't-- well, they quake in their boots when they see you comin'. I like that.
  Dayzee:  Sighs  I owe you so much. You have taught me... so much. And... you're irreplaceable. And there'll forever be a small gap in my heart that will never be filled. Ever.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: This should go to one of your daughters.  Voice breaking  I wanted something of yours so much. I just never imagined it would be this.  Crying 
  Stephanie: Why not? You got all my men.  Laughs 
  Brooke:  Chuckles  Yeah.
  Stephanie:  Coughing 
  Brooke: I did.
  Stephanie:  Coughing   Sighs  That hurt, you know? You hurt me. But you also saved me.
  Brooke: What does that mean?
  Stephanie: Well... Honey, you can't live-- you just can't live life-- I mean...  Chuckles  Because of you, I lived it for something.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Will:  Fusses 
  Katie: Wait, wait, wait.
  Donna: Katie.
  Taylor: You said you wanted to hold the baby.
  Will:  Cries 
  Katie: What if he doesn't want me?
  Taylor: Katie, don't let your fear speak for you.
  Katie: No, it's-- it's the truth. He--he--he wouldn't take my breast. He turned away from me like he was disgusted, even when I would pump and try and feed him with a bottle.
  Taylor: Sometimes the medication can cause a reaction in the baby where they feel colicky or anxious, might even refuse to feed. But it hasn't been you. It isn't your fault, and it isn't your heart.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Donna: I thought it was a competition. And I wanted to win. But not like this. Not like this.  Sighs 
  Rick: Look, I blamed you for a lot of things. Mostly, for splitting up my mom and dad.  Sighs  So it's taken me a long time to admit I wouldn't be the person I am today or the man I am today without your guidance.
  Marcus: You are the scariest woman that I've ever met. So how awesome was it for me to be welcomed by the family by the most badass lady on the planet? Thank you.
  Steffy: I'm glad kids don't get to pick their own name, because I wouldn't have picked yours. I always thought it was stuffy and old-fashioned. But what I didn't know is that... it'd be like a compass, always reminding me who and what I wanted to be.
  Taylor: I want you to know I've listened and I've watched, and I'm going to be able to get through all that lies ahead. But I'll miss you. You're my hero.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: Are you cold? Do you want me to call anybody?
  Stephanie: No.
  Brooke: Do you want me to read you the rest of the story?
  Stephanie: What's the end?
  Brooke: I could go get the book.
  Stephanie: No, no.  Chuckles  Make it up.
  Brooke: The lady in the book, Mrs. Transome, she was waiting patiently for her son's engagement to be married, I believe. And she wanted it to be so perfect. So she hired the peasant girl in the valley and her mother, and they came over, and they helped her to make this splendid, splendid party. And when the son arrived, he met the peasant girl's eyes, and it was love at first sight. Needless to say, Mrs. Transome wasn't very happy about it.
  Stephanie: Needless to say.
  Brooke:  Chuckles  But the girl, she realized over time that she not only loved the son, but she loved the family, too-- who they were...  Sighs  What they stood for, and she really wanted to be one of them. But Mrs. Transome thought she was a threat.  Sighs  And she had to protect her family. They fought and they fought for years.  Sighs  They tried to destroy each other.
  Stephanie: This sounds familiar.
  Brooke: I don't think I... knew what love was... until I knew I loved you.
  Stephanie: Hmm.
  Brooke: I'm so ashamed. I'm ashamed of all of the pain that I put you through for all these years.
  Stephanie: It all adds up.
  Brooke:  Sighs  I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
  Stephanie: No. No. It all adds up to now.
  Brooke: Yes. To now.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Will:  Fusses 
  Donna: Shh.
  Katie: He looks bigger.
  Donna: Bill says he's gained about 3 pounds since you brought him home.
  Will:  Fusses 
  Katie: Would it be okay if I...
  Donna: Oh, Baby, of course. Shh.
  Katie: Hey. It's okay, my boy. Mommy's here.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Pam: I've always been the baby. No one expected much of me, and I didn't let them down.  Chuckles  I can find my own way now, and if I get a little lost...  Sighs  I'll just ask you what to do, because somehow, I know you'll always tell me.
  Eric: My wonderful Stephanie, how I have loved you and despised you. So powerful and so towering and so righteous. I wouldn't blame anyone for, uh, getting caught up in the bedazzlement of you. I won't forget any of it ever, not a day, not one hour.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Stephanie: Who's there? Eric?
  Brooke: Eric's gonna be here really soon.
  Stephanie: Never around when you need him.
  Brooke: He's coming.
  Stephanie:  Sighs  I'm tired. I'm so tired.
  Brooke:  Whispers  I know.  Normal voice  Do you want to sleep?
  Stephanie: Yes.
  Brooke: And I'll wake you when he gets here.
  Stephanie: Yes. I'll miss you. Sing me to sleep, Baby Girl.
  Brooke:  Sniffles   Voice breaking  You want me to sing?
  Stephanie:  Whispers  Yes. Sleep.
  Brooke: When Irish eyes are smiling 'tis like a morn in spring in the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing when all the hearts are happy the world seems bright and gay when those Irish eyes are smiling  Sobs  They steal your heart away  Sobbing   Sobbing 
summary: Brooke sits with Stephanie on the outside bench taking in the beauty of the blue sky, mountains and the lake. She says that Eric will be here soon if Stephanie can wait for him. Stephanie struggles with her coughing jags but manages to get off her engagement ring and wants Brooke to have it. She quips that Brooke had all her men, now she has the ring too. She admits Brooke really hurt her, but she also saved her too. Brooke has a way of life so now Stephanie has been able to live for something. Eric prepares to get back to the cabin, stopping only long enough for the others to wish him well and say goodbye to Stephanie. He has a video of the party but isn't sure whether to show it to Stephanie or not. Pam convinces him to play it and view it first. One by one it's a tribute to the pit bull and Mama Bear by Eric, Pam, Donna, Rick, Steffy, Marcus, Dayzee, Thorne, Felicia, Taylor, Bill, Kristen and Tony. Katie cries to Taylor that she feels like she is dying; her heart is pounding. Taylor explains that is just the depression. Katie asks for her to please help. She does not want to die. Donna brings Will into Katie's room and puts him in his mother's arms.
