Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Forgive me

Karen continues talking to Caroline.

Karen: So... You want to meet the rest of your biological family?

Caroline: Do you blame me for wanting to know them?

Karen: No, but...

Caroline: Mom, put yourself in my position. 

Karen: You are right. Please just don't forget about me and Danielle. 

Next scene: Hope and Liam look at sleeping Beth. Liam puts his arm around Hope.

Liam: She's our little princess.

Hope: Our biggest blessing.

Liam: We have to concentrate on her. 

Hope: That's the plan... She is the center my universe... I just hope that Douglas will be fine and that we can see him often.

Liam: Hope... Caroline won't keep him away from us. He is family. He is Beth's biological family. 

Hope smiles and hugs Liam,

Next scene: Brooke arrives home. Ridge is waiting for her in the living room. 

Brooke: Ridge? 

Brooke: Hi Logan. 

Brooke: I was at Hope's and Liam's home... Hope gave Douglas back to his mother.

Ridge: Really? 

Brooke: Yes.

Ridge: That's good news.

Brooke: Yeah... Good news, but Hope is suffering. 

Ridge: Some thing are inevitable. 

Brooke: And how are you doing?

Ridge: We spend so little time together that we don't even know how we are... Right?

Brooke: Sadly that seems to be the case. 

Ridge: I don't want to fight. Look at us... We are not 20 anymore. We should be patient and loving and have a calm, good life... We don't need all the drama.

Brooke: So accept that I love my son.

Ridge: And I love my kids. Brooke, I don't want to lose you because of Jack.

Brooke looks at Ridge with a sad look on her face.

Brooke: Just don't ask me to choose between you and Jack because I will choose him.

Ridge is shocked. 

Next scene: It's next day. Caroline, Bill and Katie talk. 

Bill: Are you sure that you want to go to New York?

Caroline: Yes... I need to be there. Just for some days.

Katie: We are just worried about your health.

Caroline: I'm fine. 

Caroline smiles.

Caroline: More than fine... 

Bill: You have your son back.

Caroline: I do. Thanks to Hope. 

Katie smiles.

Katie: My niece would never keep your child from you.

Bill: However, it was not easy for her to give him back.

Katie: So?

Bill: So...

Caroline: You are not Hope's biggest fan uncle Bill, but she was very graceful.
