Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Jack is back

Nick Marone enters the room and sees a mess. 

Nick: Jack, what on earth have you done?

The person that reacted with anger after seeing Brooke with RJ was Jack. Brooke's biological son. 

Jack started crying. 

Nick: Do you think we need to see your doctor again?

Jack: I just saw mom...

Nick: Where?

Jack: In the tv. She was embracing her other son. 

Nick: I know that it must hurt, but you...

Jack: There are no buts! My biological mother doesn't contact me. The one that gave birth to me gave up on me. What is wrong with me?!

Nick embraces his crying son.

Next scene. Brooke, Ridge, Steffy, RJ, Eric and Quinn are talking at FC.

Steffy: Good job Quinn.

Quinn: Oh thank you. 

Eric: We all think you did well.

RJ: Yeah, we all loved it. I'm happy that I could be here.

Eric: So do you want to stay here in LA?

Brooke: We want him to and we really hope that he will.

Ridge: He has to! 

Steffy: Dad... 

Ridge: What? He has to think about us now. Enough of travelling. 

RJ: Dad... I'm staying.

Ridge: That's my boy. 

Next scene: Nick still comforts Jack.

Nick: Look son, it's not like everyone forgot about you. Taylor thought that she is doing the best for you because she was in a very dark place. I am sure that Brooke still thinks about you all the time. Bridget visits you. 

Jack: At least one decent person from that family...

Nick: They are decent people. 

Jack: I would like to get to know them better and judge it myself. 

Nick: Jack, it's out of the question. It would just complicate things.

Jack: For who? For you and for Brooke? 

Nick: You know that Brooke didn't give birth to you.

Jack: But she is my mother! I look like her...  Everyone has a mother. I didn't come out of nowhere. 

Nick: I know that it seems unfair.

Jack: No it's doesn't seem unfair. It is unfair! I have a mother that I didn't see since I was a little baby. I have a sister I never saw. I have a brother. I have cousins... I have aunts and a grandfather that is still alive and I am robbed from seeing them... Why am I worse than everybody else?

Nick: You are not. You mean the whole world to me. Your mother knew that I need you desperately. She has 4 other children and all I have is you.

Jack: What kind of excuse is that? Why can't I at least spend holidays with her?

Nick: I'm afraid that then you would leave me... 

Jack: What?

Nick: You could choose your mother over me. 

Jack: You are so selfish... I was accepting it long enough.

Jack walks out and slams the door. 

Nick: Jack wait! Oh God... 

Nick sits on the chair and hides his face in his hands. 

Next scene: Steffy and Ridge are alone in the office.

Steffy: So... Are you happy?

Ridge: Almost completely. I just wish Thomas could be here.

Steffy: Yeah me too.

Ridge: How are you holding on? You have way more on your plate than I do.

Steffy: I have my good and my bad moments. 

Ridge: How can I help?

Steffy: You can't. I just have to face it. Beth is not coming back. Liam re-married Hope which made me understand that they will always go back together, no matter what I do... But I have Kelly and now RJ is in town so I'll be fine. Eventually I will be ok. How are things with Brooke?

Ridge: Everything is better between us since RJ came back. He is a very good distraction. Sometimes I still close my eyes and I see Thomas alone in his room... Suffering and missing us... But when I think about RJ being back with us then it pushes away these bad thoughts. 

Next scene: RJ videochats with Coco.

Coco: Hi baby!

RJ: Hi love. How are you?

Coco: Same old. Better tell me how's LA?

RJ: Great. I mean... I saw my parents, my sisters, my nieces and my grandpa. I only need you here right now.

Coco: Aww... We never had a long break.

RJ: Yeah... Could you... Hurry up?

Coco: I will buy the ticked next wee.

RJ: Awesome.

Coco: I will be honest... I'll miss Grandma and all my friends here, but... You are my life.

RJ: And you are my life. 

Next scene: Nick looks worried. His mother Jackie visits him and sees him in distress.

Jackie: Hi son! Why do you have a sad face? Where is Jack? I brought his favorite cookies.

Nick: He stormed out... Later he came back, but only to take his belongings. He said that he will be back in some days. The worst part is that I couldn't even stop him because he is an adult.

Jackie: Well maybe he needed a vacation.

Nick: Mom, it won't be a vacation... He is going to see Brooke.

Jackie: Oh my God... Does she know? I mean she is his mother...

Nick: She didn't give birth to him. He was my son. He was supposed to be with me and not living with Brooke and Ridge. 

Jackie: I know and you raised him so well, but... Nicky, he has the right to spend time with his mother.

Nick: I should call Brooke.

Jackie: And tell her what? 

Nick: I don't know. I want her to be prepared.

Jackie: Maybe... Maybe he should just do it all on his own.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Jackie: If he didn't ask you to call her before he left to see her in LA then maybe... He wants to surprise her and we have no right to ruin that for him.

Nick: Yeah... That will be a surprise for sure.

Jackie: I'm sure that it will be a good surprise. Brooke absolutely adores all of her children and I doubt that her heart won't open for Jack. He is her son as well and do you remember how she fought for him in the past?

Nick: But later she accepted that I want to raise him.

Jackie: Nicky... Jack was silent for so many years because he was afraid to hurt your feelings and Brooke... Brooke was probably scared to get attached. If she would spend too much time with Jack then she would never be able to let him go and let him live with you.

Nick: Mother, don't you get it? It can still happen... I can still lose Jack!
