Jackie assures him that they were very careful with the second test and there are no mistakes this time. Ridge is the baby's Father. Nick calls Jackie a monster. She knew for at least a month and as long as old Nick was happy, it didn't matter about anyone else, not Brooke, not Ridge and not their baby. Nick looks at his Mother, he reminds her that she let him fall deeper and deeper in love with a family that wasn't even his. He tells her that Ridge and Brooke belong together. They lost a complete month because of what she did. Jackie's phone rings. It's Ridge and he is looking for Nick. She hands him the phone. Ridge say, "Brooke is ready to give birth.

Taylor had said, "Nothing worthwhile ever comes easily and an unlikely path would lead her to where she belongs." Ridge calms Brooke down by having her remember all the good times.

The doctor asks a friend at the lab to rush the results. Ridge warns Brooke not to get her hopes up. Brooke is excited that the baby might be theirs. Ridge tells Brooke that no matter what the paternity test reveals, he will love the baby as his own. Brooke is sure that they might have a chance to have it all again.

Jackie explains to Massimo that she had another test run. She tells him that she has already talked to Nicky. Massimo doesn't understand how she is just now saying something when Dr. Paxton has been dead for months. He demands the whole story from Jackie. He tells Jackie that she was wrong to allow Nick to fall more in love with Brooke, and let Brooke and Ridge end their marriage. He accuses her of deceiving the entire family. Jackie defends herself by reminding Massimo that he wanted Nick to have his own family too. She knows Massimo won't understand why she did what she did, but asks that he forgive her. He replies that she is delusional if she thinks he'll forgive her. Jackie tells him that he is too angry to discuss this now. Massimo continues yelling at her. He tells her that Ridge turned his back on the Marone family because of Jackie's silence. He tells her they were all deceived by her and wonders what happened to the woman who vowed her love and devotion to him. He orders her out of the house. As he storms from the room, the family picture of Massimo, Jackie, Nick and Brooke drops off the desk and breaks.

Outside, Ridge tells Nick that he's sorry. Nick tells Ridge that when he found out Brooke was pregnant, Nick wanted the baby to be Ridge's. Ridge tells Nick that he wanted the baby to be his too, but won't start celebrating until the results of the paternity test come back.

Alone upstairs with the baby, Brooke admires and talks to him. Stephanie comes in and tells Brooke that she knows Ridge delivered the baby. She asks Brooke how long she will subject Ridge to all this. Stephanie hopes that Ridge will realize that Brooke's place is with the father of the child. Brooke asks Stephanie if her feelings for Brooke would change if the baby had been Ridge's. Stephanie tells her that integrity and virtue always win in the end and if Brooke and Ridge were meant to be together, then the baby would have been Ridge's. Just then, Ridge and Nick enter with Dr. MacClaine. As Ridge smiles at Brooke, Brooke tells him that she wants Stephanie to hear this. Stephanie is shocked when Dr. MacClaine announces that Brooke has a healthy Forrester baby.

Jackie tells Nick that he shouldn't go into his shell again. He remembers that she let him fall further in love with the baby and the family that was not his, and never said anything. Jackie wants to know where they go from here. Nick tells her that if this is her kind of love, then, he doesn't ever want any part of it again. She tells him that this might not have worked out for him, and, she was wrong in what she did, but, he did learn how to open himself up to love. She hopes that he will not put walls up again. He tells her that at one time, the one person he knew would always be there for him, was her. Whenever he needed someone, he knew she would drop anything, and be there at a moments notice. Now, he just wants to get away from her.

Eric enters the room to find Stephanie sitting alone. He comes in to greet her not knowing that she has come back. Stephanie tells Eric that Brooke and Ridge have a child together. Another paternity test was run and Ridge is the Father. Stephanie tells Eric that Brooke and Ridge will marry again, move into the house again. She wants to know that Ridge and Taylor's children are going to lead stable lives. Eric tells her if she can't support the marriage and the life they have chosen for themselves, if she can't do it for her son, then do it for Ridge's son and their grandchild. Stephanie says that she was able to hold the baby. She didn't want to love him, but she did. Ridge also told her that she had to accept the situation or lose him. Eric responds with, you have to make up your mind. You have to decide which is stronger, your love or your hate.
