Steffy makes coffee when her door bell rings. She opens the door and sees Liam.
Steffy: Liam... Hi. Come on in...
Liam: Thanks.
Steffy: Why are you here?
Liam: I want to talk about something.
Steffy: It couldn't wait? Tomorrow we will see each other in your house.
Liam: Uhm..
Steffy: Liam? What's wrong?
Liam: It's about tomorrow. Me and Hope...
Steffy: Hope doesn't want me to come right?
Next scene. Brooke is reading a newspaper and Ridge looks at her.
Ridge: So we will never be civil again?
Brooke puts the newspaper down and looks at Ridge.
Brooke: I'm sorry if I overreacted. I am still traumatized.
Door bell rings. Ridge opens the door. It's RJ with his bag. Ridge and RJ hug and Brooke runs to them.
Brooke: Oh my God!
Brooke runs to them and they all embrace.
Brooke: You are home.
Next scene: Steffy looks at Liam and he looks down on the floor.
Steffy: Tell me Liam...
Liam: We just want to spend this weekend alone with Beth.
Steffy: We? Oh come on... Hope is the one that wants to keep me away.
Liam: It's not true. In fact nobody wants to keep you away from Beth.
Steffy: Don't you understand that even 4 times a week isn't enough for me? I love this girl more than my own life.
Liam grabs Steffy's arms gently.
Liam: Steffy, please calm down. You will always be in Beth's life.
Steffy: But she will never be Phoebe again.
Steffy starts crying hysterically and Liam hug her and looks scared and worried.
Next scene: Hope is in the cabin cleaning up baby clothes when somebody knocks on her door. She opens and it's RJ with Brooke.
Rj/Brooke: Surprise!!!
Hope: RJ! Is that really you? I didn't see you for almost two years.
They embrace.
Brooke: Ridge and Steffy convinced RJ to work at Forrester creations so he could be here in LA. Close to us.
RJ: I would come anyway... I already planned to see my new niece after some months, but...
Hope: But what?
RJ: To be honest I was scared to come... I even wanted to look for job somewhere far away.
Brooke: Because of Thomas...
Hope: Thomas is not here now.
RJ: I can't believe he did it... He was never evil.
Brooke: Well he had a lot of bad moments in the past...
Hope: Mom... It's RJ brother.
Brooke: So what? I have to pretend that he doesn't need help?
RJ: And he is getting help... So, can I see my niece now?
Hope smiles.
Next scene: Liam holds Kelly and Steffy watches them.
Steffy: So nice to see you with our daughter.
Liam: I love to be here with you and Kelly. I'm glad that you calmed down. Steffy you really need to be strong for Kelly and remember that you will always be in Beth's life.
Steffy: I'm sorry for the scene I just caused a minute ago. I had a weaker moment.
Liam: That's perfectly natural... But I'm worried for you.
Steffy: It's ok. You will have a wonderful weekend with Hope and Beth and I will be here with Kelly.
Liam: If there will be anything that you need...
Steffy: I know... But no. Thanks. I will be fine.
Liam: Today you didn't look fine. I am scared that it will happen again when you'll be alone.
Steffy: Liam, this is my second biggest heartbreak of my entire life. The first was my sisters death. If I could survive my twin dying... I can survive anything.
Next scene: Hope and RJ are with Beth.
RJ: She is so adorable. I love her. I am so blessed. I became an uncle for the 3rd time.
Hope: Did you visit Kelly and Steffy?
RJ: Not yet. I think I'll go to see them tomorrow. I wish I could see Douglas as well.
Hope: I wish I could see Douglas too. His grandmother has custody right now. I really want to adopt him, but it's too complicated. Thomas won't give me permission. I'm glad that he can at least be with Karen now.
RJ: Thomas loves him so much. I don't understand why all of a sudden he abused him.
Hope: I think that he wasn't even aware of how much he has hurt him.
Brooke came out of the garden:
Brooke: Sorry that it took so long.
Hope: It's ok. So did you call Ridge?
Brooke: Yes. We will go to a restaurant tonight. RJ comes with us. Wanna joins us Hope?
Hope: No. Thank you. I have plans with Liam.
Next scene: Steffy checks her phone.
Steffy: RJ is in LA.
Liam: Oh, really?
Steffy: Yeah... He posted a photo with Hope and Beth. I shouldn't be surprised that he visited his favorite sister first even if I was the one that asked him to come to LA.
Liam: I don't think he has favorites.
Steffy: Oh he has. She was always his favorite. There is something about Hope. Everyone loves her more. Including you.
Liam looks confused.
Liam: Steffy...
Steffy: What? Oh God... I'm doing it again. Losing my mind.
Liam: Maybe let me take Kelly to my house. You should rest.
Steffy: No way... I need her. She is all I have left.
Next scene: Ridge, Brooke and RJ are out in a restaurant.
Ridge: Isn't it lovely. You, me, our son... All together.
Brooke: It has been so long since we went out together.
RJ: We will have a lot of days like this one.
Brooke: Coco will join you in LA? She can stay with us.
RJ: Yes. She will need some days to organize.
Ridge: Sounds great. I regret that she won't be with us tomorrow at the fashion show.
RJ: There is a fashion show tomorrow?
Ridge: Yes... The jewelry line. Your mother didn't tell you?
Brooke: I was just so excited that RJ is here that I forgot all about it.
Ridge: You will go with us, right?
RJ: Yeah why not... I mean. I would love to.
