Brooke and Ridge are looking at the new baby. Thomas and the twins enter the room. They want to know what is going on. Ridge and Brooke tell the youngsters about the birth of the new baby. Ridge tells Thomas that the baby was born at the house. He also lets him know that a second paternity test was run and it was confirmed that the baby's real Father is Ridge. Brooke and Ridge tell the children that they are now a real family and will never be separated again. Eric looks on. He congratulates Ridge and kisses Brooke. He holds the baby. Eric is told that his name is Ridge Forrester, Jr. He thanks his Dad for telling him to hold on. They are truly united now. Rick thinks that the name is too long for the little one, right now. He comes up with the nickname, RJ. That is what the baby will be called.
Darla stops in at the office to see Thorne. Thorne is visibly upset. He tells Darla that Ridge is working on a new collection and that he has all ready pitched it to his Dad. He never came to him with it. Thorne thinks the designs are wonderful, but, he doesn't want to take the risk on a new line now. It is Forrester's intent to go back to what has worked for the company before. They have all ready tried Sharpe Designs and the Ambrosia Line and though it worked, it wasn't what Forrester Creations has built its success on.
Caitlin comes into an office hoping to see Ridge. She is told that he is not there, and should re-schedule. She tells Rick, who is in the office, that she was there to show Ridge some designs that she has created. Rick says, if she doesn't mind, he will be glad to offer his opinion, although he is not the expert, himself. She agrees. Rick tells her to try on the outfits. Caitlin comes out in one of her own creations -- a red dress that definitely draws Rick's attention. A second outfit is tried on, a short dress in pink. Rick is amazed and finds Caitlin fascinating to say the least.
Ridge enters Thorne's office. He is excited that both of them have new children to celebrate. After talking about the new idea of parenthood, the two of them get down to business. Ridge starts to talk about his new line. Thorne tells Ridge that he has concern over the new designs by Ridge. He explains that Forrester wanted to stay with the concept that made them successful. They are planning to stay with the elegant and safe designs that express the Forrester name. Darla is listening at the door. Ridge blows up and tells Thorne to get off his high horse. He doesn't answer to him. Darla, not being able to stand it anymore, enters. She looks at Ridge, and says, "Thorne has always respected you, now it's time for you to show a little respect to him."
