Deacon overhears the delivery woman telling Brooke that she has her prenatal vitamins for her baby. Now it all makes sense...Deacon asks Brooke if she is pregnant and Brooke tries to cover and say they are for Amber. Deacon tells her he heard the woman say they were for Brooke's baby so she should just admit it. Brooke gives in and tells Deacon "yes" she is pregnant but Deacon should just forget about her. Deacon says he loves her, he can never leave her and together they can get through this. Brooke begs Deacon not to hurt Bridget. Brooke feels that they are the two people closest to Bridget and it will destroy her to know she's been betrayed. Bridget will never be able to trust anyone again. Brooke begs Deacon please don't do that to my child. Deacon replies, "What about my child? Our child? the child that you are carrying? What is all this gonna do to him?" Deacon tells Brooke he doesn't want to hurt Bridget but every time he swears he isn't going to hurt her, he does just that. He tells Brooke he wishes she would've come to him earlier with the pregnancy. Brooke won't have to shoulder the responsibility herself.

Amber knows that Deacon is lying to Bridget and wants to know why. She pays Bridget another visit and questions her about Deacons trip to Vegas. Bridget says she doesn't know how its going because she hasn't heard from him yet but that's okay because Deacon's probably really busy with his adventure capitalists as they are opening a new club. Amber asks where? Bridget replies Deacon never said where. Amber comments that Deacon will probably be out of town a lot then and Bridget dismisses telling Amber Deacon will never let work come between them, they are so close now. Deacon's really changed and his cheating days are over.

Deacon's cell phone rings. It's Bridget. Is Deacon busy? Deacon replies that he is busy; he is right in the middle of a meeting. Bridget apologizes and says she just wanted to hear his voice. Deacon tells Bridget he'll see her later and hangs up. Then he tells Brooke how much he hates to lie to Bridget. Brooke starts crying "what have I done?" Deacon tells Brooke this baby is a blessing and needs its father. He's going home to ask Bridget for a divorce. Then Deacon and Brooke can raise the baby together as a family. Bridget will be okay. She'll get on with her life.

Zende knocks on Tony and Kristen's bedroom door. He has had a bad dream. Tony and Kristen took him back to the orphanage. Tony and Kristen tell Zende that will never happen. Just as Ridge and Taylor would never give up one of their children, Zende is their son now and belongs with them. He doesn't belong in the orphanage. Zende asks about his friends...do they belong there? No, they don't replies Tony. No one deserves to be in an orphanage, live on the streets, or be hungry. Tony and Kristen set up a bed for Zende in their room and he goes back to sleep. They talk about how important it is for Zende to feel secure now as he is never going back to the orphanage. He's their son now and the most important thing in their lives. Zende opens his eyes and watches.

In his office, Ridge showed Taylor the first clothing designs he created as the CEO of Forrester Creations. Taylor described the new designs as exquisite and named them "Modern Classic." Taylor later questioned Ridge as to whether he had heard from Rick since the board meeting. She tried to encourage Ridge to be less hard on Rick. Ridge nixed Taylor's suggestion that he be less hard with Rick and make peace. Ridge preferred that Stephanie deal with Rick because she's always been able to get through to he and Amber.

At home, Rick continued learning about Forrester Creations in his mission to protect his mother's company. Amber was surprised that Brooke had stayed away so long and actually trusted Amber to run the house while she's away. Stephanie stopped by and asked Rick if he had heard from Brooke? Rick became hostile and told Stephanie that he and Amber intend to protect his mother's company. Rick informed Stephanie that he and Amber are stressed and worried sick about Brooke. Stephanie tried to rationalize with Rick and Amber about their interference with Ridge. They still wouldn't accept that Brooke had appointed Ridge as CEO, in her absence, in the best interest of Forrester Creations. Rick and Amber also wouldn't accept Ridge's cancellation of the Brooke's Bedroom Lingerie Line.

Deacon advised Brooke to check out of the spa immediately and leave with him. Deacon's plan was for the two of them to return to LA and inform Bridget that they are in love and expecting a baby together. As much as Brooke wanted to go along with Deacon, she couldn't do it because she couldn't break Bridget's heart by stealing her husband. Deacon increased the pressure on Brooke. Deacon proposed marriage to Brooke in a romantic fashion. Brooke professed her love for Deacon. Deacon advised her that had he been aware of her feelings for him, he never would have reconciled his marriage with Bridget. Brooke refused his proposal even though it meant giving up the chance to be with the man she loves and provide a family for her baby. She told Deacon that for Bridget's sake, it could never be known he is this baby's father. Brooke told him this baby could never know who their father is. In addition, Deacon advised that it would be impossible for him to stay away from Brooke and his baby. He asked Brooke to reconsider her plan to parent this baby alone. He reminded Brooke that all the years she searched for a man and thought it was Ridge. It is Deacon, though, that Brooke has finally found true love with.

Brooke revealed that she loves Deacon so deeply that it frightens her; also, she does want a life with Deacon and their baby. Brooke told Deacon that he must remain with Bridget. He can love their baby from a distance only. Brooke sadly made it clear that their baby could never know its father.
