document: Steffy: How long have you been here? You were here the whole time. You heard Thomas and me.
  Bill: You are really getting into this, aren't you? Pregnancy, looking after your woman.
  Liam: That's a very 1950s way of putting it, but, yeah, I am. I'm getting into it.
  Bill: I'm proud of you.
  Liam: Look at us. Couple of guys, couple of married guys settling down. Spencer men breaking the cycle that your father started. I'm proud of you, too.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Eric: Brooke... I'm not gonna pressure you, but you're upset. If you're not gonna talk to me about whatever this is, then you've got to talk to somebody. A professional?
  Brooke: Eric... you're so sweet to be concerned. Really. And if there was anybody I could talk to about this... it would be you.
  Eric: I'll be here for you, whatever you need. If you need to talk, I'll listen. I'll give you advice, or I'll shut up. We can sit together all night long if you need a hug. You can just sit there and cry if you want.
  Brooke: [Chuckles] You're so good to me, even when I don't deserve it.
  Eric: You deserve anything and everything that I have to give. Don't you know that? After everything we've been through together, there's nothing you can do or say that would change how I feel about you. Now, whatever this is... you're Brooke Logan. And you'll persevere.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Liam: You all right?
  Bill: Hmm?
  Liam: Are you all right?
  Bill: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Uh, I was just thinking about, uh, what lies ahead for you.
  Liam: Are you worried I'm not gonna be able to handle it?
  Bill: Not at all.
  Liam: [Chuckles] Hey, just so you know, I'm gonna be coming to you a lot for advice. You know, all those milestones -- the teething, the potty training, I mean, any stage we're at, you'll have just been there with Will, so I expect you and Katie to be our number-one parenting source.
  Bill: Well, Katie's the one you should consult, you know, the way she's jumped into motherhood.
  Liam: Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, she's also had time to make up.
  Bill: Yeah.
  Liam: Yeah.
  Bill: All right, here's your first bit of advice. Pay attention to your wife. Make sure she knows how much you love her.
  Liam: Well, that I got covered. Steffy's not gonna question how I feel about her ever.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Hope: I should have let you guys know that I was -- I was in there. You and Thomas were talking, and I just...
  Steffy: I-I understand.
  Hope: Sorry.
  Steffy: I haven't really seen you much since we got back.
  Hope: I've been avoiding the office.
  Steffy: Really?
  Hope: Can you blame me?
  Steffy: I'd do the same.
  Hope: [Sniffles] I just don't feel like I need to see you every day, knowing what you've taken from me.
  Steffy: You here to see Oliver? He's sharing the house with my brother, so we're bound to run into each other.
  Hope: Um, the guys wanted to cheer me up, so they invited the three Hope for the Future spokesmodels over to go surfing.
  Steffy: Huh.
  Hope: I'm not dating Oliver, if you're wondering.
  Steffy: No, no. But he does care about you.
  Hope: That would make it easier if I just moved on?
  Steffy: It might for you.
  [Cell phone ringing]
  Hope: [Clears throat] Go ahead.
  Steffy: No, no. It's fine.
  Hope: Steffy, he's your husband. Just answer your phone.
  [Ringing continues]
  [Beep]
  Steffy: Hey.
  Liam: Hey. I thought you'd be home by now.
  Steffy: Uh, yeah. I'm, uh... I'm leaving very soon.
  Liam: Thomas isn't putting you to work, is he? Because I swear I will not have my pregnant wife lifting a finger.
  Steffy: Looks like he's settling in...without my muscles.
  Liam: Oh, good. Um... he's not -- he's not, like, expecting to be invited, right?
  Steffy: You know, I, uh... let's just have it be us. You know, Thomas is surfing with Oliver, so...
  Liam: All right, well, what are you waiting for? Get back here. Baby's first barbecue.
  Steffy: I'm, uh...I'm on my way. Bye.
  [Beep]
  Steffy: Um, I'm sorry about that.
  Hope: Don't be. Better get going.
  Thomas: Whew! I'm just gonna grab a sandwich, and we'll head out.
  Oliver: Yeah, sounds good, man.
  Thomas: I didn't -- I didn't realize you were still here.
  Steffy: Yeah, I-I'm gonna -- I'm gonna leave. You -- you should stay. You know, go surf with them. Enjoy the sun.
  Thomas: Might as well hang out with us.
  Steffy: Oh, no. It's fine. Liam's waiting for me.
  Thomas: He's gonna be waiting a while.
  Oliver: Oh, yeah. We were talking to some people down on the beach. There was a major accident on PCH.
  Steffy: What?
  Thomas: Wall to wall. You're not going anywhere.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Liam: Well, if there's nothing else, hint-hint, my wife is gonna be here any minute. So, uh...
  Bill: Nice. Really nice. My own flesh and blood kicking me out in the street.
  Liam: Hey, I'm just saying baby's gonna be here before I know it. My alone time with Steffy is coming to an abrupt end. I'm taking advantage.
  Bill: Oh, you have no idea.
  Liam: [Chuckles] Not that I mind. When the baby comes, having this -- this, like, being that's half Steffy, half me, that's -- that's cool. You know, everybody always talks about how having a baby's a blessing, it's a blessing, it's a blessing. I never really got that until now.
  Bill: I had you and didn't even know it. And you turned out to be one of the greatest blessings of my life. Having a child, Liam... it will open your heart in ways you can't even imagine. I'm excited for you. Being a dad... it doesn't get any better than that.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Eric: Brooke, you're shaking.
  Brooke: Am I?
  Eric: Just drink. Drink.
  Brooke: Mm. [Sighs] Thank you. [Sighs] Eric, you're always there. You're always so caring.
  Eric: We've been through a lot together. I'd stand by you through anything. You'd do the same for me.
  Brooke: We've been good for each other through the years.
  Eric: We seem to know what the other one always needs. Whatever it is you're going through... you can't just keep it bottled up inside. Just gonna get worse.
  Brooke: I know. I know. And I -- I'm gonna deal with it. I am. It's just... I-I will tell you, too. I will. It's just I need to...talk to somebody else first.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Thomas: Okay, so you'd rather sit in traffic than come with us. I mean, just sit in the sand and marvel at my sweet skills on the wave.
  Oliver: [Chuckles]
  Steffy: Yeah, I choose traffic. It'll clear up eventually.
  Oliver: It's backed up for, like, two miles. It'll take hours.
  Thomas: Yeah, call Liam. He'll understand.
  Steffy: I will do that -- in the car.
  Thomas: Fine.
  Oliver: What about you, Hope? Coming with?
  Hope: Uh, no thanks. I'm o-- I'm okay. You guys have fun, though. Um, is it cool if I just hang out here?
  Thomas: Yeah, of course. All right.
  Oliver: Okay.
  Hope: Look, it's really silly for you to sit in traffic. I mean, you can wait it out here. It's fine.
  Steffy: I'd feel better about being on the way, even if I'm not moving. I know it sounds crazy, but, uh...
  Hope: Not at all. You're going home to Liam.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Liam: Mmm! She's gonna love it. She's gonna love it.
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Brooke: [Sighs] [Sighs]
  [Ringing]
  Secretary: Bill Spencer's office. Hello? Spencer Publications. May I help you?
  Brooke: Um, is -- is Bill in?
  Secretary: Not at the moment. May I take a message?
  Brooke: No. It's okay. Just, uh... you can just -- [Sighs] Never mind. I'll just call his cell.
  Secretary: Alison said he'd be right back. I'm happy to let him know you called.
  Brooke: Okay. Just tell him it's Brooke Logan and... he knows my number. [Sighs] You know what? Forget it. It's really not important. Just tell him I'll just call him later. Okay.
  [Beep]
  Brooke: [Sighs]
  [SCENE_BREAK]
  Steffy: You'll be okay?
  Hope: Yeah, yeah. I've got, you know, magazines and my phone and stuff. I'm fine.
  Steffy: That's not what I meant.
  Hope: [Sighs] Steffy, I-I told Liam to marry you because I know that your baby comes first.
  Steffy: Our marriage is more than a baby.
  Hope: I know, Steffy. [Sighs] Liam wouldn't... Liam couldn't have committed to you unless he loves you, so I know that he does. Congratulations. I-I want what's best for you guys. Steffy, I-I'm angry. And I'm a little lost. But I'm not gonna be held captive, you know, by my negativity. I'm not gonna be this person forever. It's just -- it's gonna take some time. But I have hope for myself. [Chuckles] And even for us, you know, because you said it yourself. We work together and we're family. I'm not gonna hide from that, and I'm -- I'm not gonna run from you every time that I see you. Who knows? One day I might even be happy for you. I really do want only the best for you and Liam and your child. [Sighs]

summary: Hope wipes the tears from her eyes as Steffy walks back in. She figures out that Hope was there the whole time and heard her and Thomas talking. She comments that she hasn't seen much of Hope since they got back. Hope says that's because she has been avoiding the office. She just doesn't feel like seeing Steffy every day knowing what she took from her (why oh why does she keep bringing that up, makes her look so desperate). Bill watches as Liam is preparing to grill and is fixing the salad. Bill likes that Liam is taking care of his woman. Liam comments that is a very 50's ways of saying it, but yeah just look at them .a couple of married guys settling down a couple of Spencer men breaking that old cycle that Bill's dad started. Liam says he is proud of Bill too. And just so he knows, he will be coming to him a lot for parental advice as Bill will have just gone through it with Will ..teething .potty training, all that good stuff. Bill says here's his very first piece of advice. He should pay attention to his wife and make sure she knows he loves her. Liam says that part is easy. Bill also tells him that having him as his son has been one of the biggest blessings of his life. A baby will bring him so many more joys that he can imagine. Being a dad .it doesn't get any better than that. Liam calls Steffy and tells her she better hurry back; this is baby's first barbecue. Oliver and Thomas come in and they tell Steffy that she is not going anywhere. There was a major accident on the PCH, wall to wall.
