Hope is pacing back and forth in the cabin. *What am I going to do? How am I going to tell Liam, Bill said if I don't tell Liam he will.* Hope thinks she can maybe lie to Liam and tell him Bill is trying to ruin her, but that won't work. If Liam has that doubt in his mind then he will demand a test, and she knows how that will turn out. What will everyone think, how will the public see her. For a moment she considers an abortion then lying to Bill and telling him that she lost the baby, but she doesn't think she could go through with that. 

"Hope?" 

Hope jumps as she spins around to see Brooke standing in the door way, she didn't even hear the door open. 

"Is everything Ok?" Brooke asks with a concerned tone in her voice, "you seem distracted and upset." 

Hope gets an overwhelming feeling of panic as she does not know what to do, "Oh mommy," Hope says as she rushes to Brookes arms crying, "I don't know what to do, I messed up."

Brooke strokes her daughter's hair as she cradles her sobbing daughter, "Oh honey, there is nothing you could have possibly done that is that bad, we will get through it. Now what happened?" 

Hope takes a deep breath, "Mom, I'm pregnant." 

A huge smile plasters on Brooke's face, "Hope that's wonderful news!" She looks at Hope and realizes she is not smiling at this blessing. "That is wonderful news...right? Another little Spencer baby running around."

"There will definitely be another Spencer baby around here," Hope takes a deep breath, she figures she better just spit it out. If anyone will understand her and not judge her it will be her mother, "The baby is not Liam's."

Brooke cannot comprehend what she is hearing, not Liam's baby. This is not possible, her daughter was so pure and sweet. She didn't do these kind of things, "Not Liam's, but you said we would have another Spencer baby...Is it Wyatt's? Did you bond over Alex and let something happen? Because that is understandable, we can convince Liam that is not that big of a deal and could happen to anyone." 

Hope never considered how her son would feel about having a younger half sibling that is also his uncle or aunt. Hope looks at the ground in shame, "It's Bill's baby." 

Brooke's jaw drops, "What did he do to you? I know you would have never willingly have sex with him." Brooke fumes. 

Hope begins to shake her head, "No no no, it's not like that. I went to him for help with Liam, one thing led to another and we ended up sleeping together. I had a paternity test done and it turns out the baby is Bill's." 

"We can fix this," Brooke says trying to think of a solution, "We can pass the baby off as Liam's, they will share DNA. He may as well raise the baby." 

"Mom, that's not going to work. Bill knows the baby is his, I needed him to do the DNA test. He said he cannot allow Liam to raise his kid." 

"Let me talk to him, maybe I can convince him."

"That's actually a good idea, if anyone can convince him to let Liam raise our baby you can." Hope gets a glimmer of hope, "I'll stay here and try to think about how to tell Liam about the baby and keep his suspicion low, he must never find out."

"Too late," Brooke and Hope's eyes get wide as they turn to the door and see Liam standing in the doorway fuming. "I can't believe you Hope. You swore you would never do anything like this to me!"

Brooke and Hope could do nothing but stand there in shock with their jaws dropped.
