Hope Springs Eternal: A Liam and Hope Romance

Chapter 11

Hope was glad to be carrying Liam's child. She had to calmly and tactfully inform Wyatt so she could end this marriage. She couldn't be married to Wyatt now that she was having Liam's baby. Hope wondered if the agreement would still stick if she were carrying another man's child. And what would Quinn do if she knew she wasn't having Wyatt's baby?

But unbeknownst to Hope, Quinn was lurking in the closet when she was having her tests done.

"So, Hope is pregnant after all!" Quinn muttered to herself, but she forgot that Deacon was sleeping on the divan in her room.

"Hope is pregnant?" Deacon said, confused. "How do you know that?"

"Uh, Hope and Wyatt said I could come along with them for their pregnancy test." Quinn lied.

"So, my little girl is gonna have a baby." Deacon said. "Oh gosh! I'm going to be a grandfather!"

"Yep, congratulations, grandpa." Quinn said.

"Well, I have to go see Hope."

"No! You can't let Hope and Wyatt know that you know!" Quinn warned.

"But why, you were at the doctor's visit, so what's the problem?"

"Please, just let Hope come to you to tell you." Quinn pleaded.

"Okay, I'll wait for Hope to tell me, but it will be hard not to go see her."

Meanwhile.....

"Wyatt, we need to talk."

"I'm afraid it will have to wait, Hope, mother sent a text saying she need to see me, ASAP."

"Tonight, then?"

"Yes, I'll make us a special dinner to celebrate the baby." Wyatt said, ecstatically.

"Yes, dear, I can't wait." Hope said, trying to sound excited.

Hope was glad not to talk to Wyatt. She thought that maybe she should tell Liam the news first, since he was the father. Hope headed out to her car and drove over to Liam's to talk with him.

She didn't get far when she realized that she was being followed by the police. She pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the officer to come to her car.

"Mrs. Hope Fuller-Spencer?" the officer said when Hope rolled down her car window.

"Yes, officer, is there anything wrong?"

"I need you to get out of the car, ma'am."

Hope opened the car door and did as the officer requested.

"Hope Fuller-Spencer, you are under arrest..." the officer said, as he continued to give Hope her Miranda Rights.

"What am I being taken in for?"

"You'll find out soon enough." the officer said, as he placed her in his unmarked car.

Little did Hope know, the officer was an impersonator hired by Quinn and have Hope brought to her, making sure Hope would make good on their agreement.
