Stephanie comes in and tells Brooke that she knows Ridge delivered the baby. She asks Brooke how long she will subject Ridge to all this. Stephanie hopes that Ridge will realize that Brooke's place is with the father of the child. Brooke asks Stephanie if her feelings for Brooke would change if the baby had been Ridge's. Stephanie tells her that integrity and virtue always win in the end and if Brooke and Ridge were meant to be together, then the baby would have been Ridge's. Just then, Ridge and Nick enter with Dr. Maclaine. As Ridge smiles at Brooke, Brooke tells him that she wants Stephanie to hear this. Stephanie is shocked when Dr. Maclaine announces that Brooke has a healthy Forrester baby. Stephanie accepts Brooke's child as her grandchild and accepts Ridge and Brooke as a family along with Taylor's children. She was very worried that Taylor and Ridge's children were going to lose out on a mother figure with Brooke in the role of stepmom but she has accepted it. {pictures from 6.24.04 episode, info courtesy soapcentral.com} |
