Hope Springs Eternal: A Liam and Hope Romance

Chapter 22

Quinn was up to her old tricks again. She was a mama bear protecting her young. Nobody would get away with hurting Wyatt! Hope would regret reuniting with Liam, Quinn would make sure of it.

Later, at the doctor's office, Liam and Hope anxiously waited for the doctor to tell them about the baby, but unknown to them, the "doctor" was none other than Quinn under a mask. Blissfully happy, neither Hope or Liam didn't recognize the "doctor" incognito.

"Hope Logan, the doctor will see you now." Nurse Bradley called out as she escorted Hope and Liam into the doctor's examination room.

Liam could tell Hope was nervous so he held her in his arms while they waited for the doctor.

The "doctor" came into the examination room, disgusted by seeing Hope in Liam's arms.

"Well, what seems to be the matter?" Quinn said, disguising her voice so Hope and Liam wouldn't recognize her.

"Doctor, we're here to see the ultrasound." Hope said nervously.

"Well, then let's take a look then." Quinn said, still disguising her voice.

As Quinn pulled up Hope's gown and placed the gel on Hope's stomach, she put on rubber gloves and placed the instrument on Hope's stomach. Liam and Hope is in awe as they watched their baby. The thought made Quinn sick, but continued on with the examination.

"Do you want to know the sex of the baby?" Quinn asked, still incognito.

"What do you think, Liam?" Hope asked.

"Sure, why not!" Liam said with excitement.

As Quinn further examined the ultrasound, she said, "It looks as if you're having a boy." Quinn pointed to the proof that showed Hope was having a boy.

"Wow!" Liam exclaimed. "A son!"

"The Spencer name will live on." Hope replied.

"Dad will be happy." Liam said proudly.

"Okay, I will let you get dressed and send the results in for the paternity test." Quinn said.

"Paternity test?" Hope asked confused. "I didn't ask for a paternity test?"

"I'm sorry." Quinn apologized. "This sheet says you asked for one?"

"Well, can you not send it in?" Hope asked, as Liam looked upset that Hope apparently lied to him. "I'm pretty sure Liam is the father."

"Sorry, Hope, but the order is already being sent." Quinn said as she pressed send on the computer kiosk.

Quinn left Hope to get dressed. Liam was silently fuming as he watched Hope get dressed. Quinn was satisfied as she watched Liam's face from excitement to anger in a matter of minutes. "Just wait until the paternity test results come back, Hope!" Quinn said to herself with a sly smile on her face.

Back at home, Liam let out his anger at Hope, "Why did you have a paternity test done, Hope!"

"I never asked for a test to be done!" Hope said in her defense.

"I can't believe that you lied. Wyatt could be the father, can't he?!" Liam said angrily.

"No, Liam!" Hope tried to reason with Liam. "I know your are!"

"I can't talk right now!" Liam said as he stormed out of the beach house, leaving Hope alone, wondering what just happened.
