« Thread Started on Aug 26, 2009, 8:42pm »

Amber had left and Brooke gave herself a last check in the mirror. There was a knock on the door and she went over to answer it.
"Hello Whip." She greeted with a smile.
"Brooke." He replied looking over what she was wearing. "You look great."
"Thank you. You don't look bad yourself." She said admiring his black sports jacket.
"What this old thing?" He grinned.
Brooke laughed and shook her head. "Let's go." She picked up her purse when her cell phone rang. "Just a minute." She said to Whip digging her phone out of her purse. "Hello?"
"Logan...it's me."
"Ridge." said a surprised Brooke.
Whip was irritated but held it back.
"What's going on? Everything okay?"
"No Logan it's not. I don't know how to tell you this.....it's your mother."
"Oh My God....What....what is it?"
"She's had a stroke."
Brooke stood frozen in place. Her heart was pounding. "Is she..."
"They are doing everything they can. That's what your brother told Donna. He called her at Forrester."
"I...I should....I should get out there...I....need to be there." Brooke said trying to remain calm but shaking with fear of the worst happening.
"I have the Forrester Jet standing by whenever you want to leave."
"Okay..thank you....I...Keep me posted." Brooke snapped her phone shut and stood there feeling numb.
"Brooke." said Whip. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"My mother....she....she had a stroke....I need to go...I have to get to Paris..." Brooke flew up the stairs to pack up her things.
Whip followed her and found her throwing things into her bag...not caring if things got wrinkled.
"Brooke you okay?"
"I'll be fine...I have to get to Paris...I need to see my mother..."
"Anything I can do?"
"Just drive me back to L.A. Ridge has the Forrester Jet ready....I'll call him from the car and tell him to meet me there."
"Meet you there? He's coming with you?"
Brooke didn't answer. She was busy fumbling with the phone to call her brother Storm. She finally got the number dialed. "Stormy...it's Brooke...what's going on with Mom?"
Whip quietly headed down the stairs and waited for her. So Ridge was going with her to Paris. He'll probably take advantage of her vulnerability again. However he couldn't say anything. He promised Brooke he would let her make her own choice. She obviously wanted Ridge with her at this time. There wasn't anything he could do.
Whip sighed. Of course she would. Ridge is who she leaned on at these times. Not him.
Brooke ran down the stairs with her luggage in her hands. "Storm said they are doing what they can...they have her stablized...Oh God I hope she makes it..." Brooke ran out of the cabin and to Whip's SUV. He followed her and drove her away from the ranch.
As they drove, Brooke phoned Bridget and Rick about their grandmother. She promised she would let them know the second she found out anything. She couldn't lose her mother. She needed her. Especially now. Needed her wisdom and guidance. Without Beth...she would have only Stephen left. Right now Brooke was still angry with him. Going along with Massimo's plan. Scaring her like that. How could she ever forgive him? She couldn't think of that right now. All she cared about was her mother making it through.
They arrived at the jetway and Brooke practically leaped out of the car. Ridge was waiting there along with Donna. Katie was in New York and flying out to Paris on the first flight. Donna had tears in her eyes. Like Brooke, she loved her mother. Always turned to her whenever she needed advice. And like Brooke, she too was very angry with her father. It wasn't just Brooke he scared. It was her too. When Brooke had called and told her....it was like a nightmare. The worst thing for a person to hear....their parent was dying and it turns out to be all a cruel hoax. Ridge took Brooke's luggage and boarded the plane with her. Donna noticed Whip standing there. She knew that Whip was a friend of Brooke's. Brooke had called her and told her about how wonderful he had been helping her through her ordeal. "Why don't you come with us?" She said to him.
"What? No...I don't want to get in the way...this is a family thing...."
"How would you be in the way?" asked Donna. "You're Brooke's friend. She could use all the friends she can get right now. We all could."
Whip was hesitant. "I don't know...I think I should..."
"Please." said Donna. "I'm sure Brooke won't mind. She would love to have your support."
"Okay Okay." said Whip. "If you say so." He followed Donna onto the plane. Brooke didn't notice he boarded. She was on her cell phone talking to the doctors at the hospital in Paris. Ridge saw him and stood up to walk over to him. "What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Um...Brooke's sister said I should come too. She said Brooke can use all the friends she can get...Look if this is too weird..."
"No it's fine." said Ridge. "Donna is right. Brooke does need all the support she can get. I'm glad you are here." Ridge shook his hand and walked back to his seat next to Brooke.
Donna sat down next to Whip. "Everything okay?"
Whip nodded. "Yeah. It's fine. How about you? You okay?"
"I'm trying." sighed Donna. "I...just..." She began to tear up. "If anything happened to Mom..."
Whip put his arm around her and she sobbed in his chest.
"I'm sorry." She said pulling away blowing her nose into a tissue.
"It's okay." replied Whip.
Donna got up from her seat to get something to drink. Whip sat back. He couldn't imagine what they were going through. If anything had happened to his mom...he couldn't bear it.
He looked over at Brooke who was sitting subdued in her seat. Her head was resting against Ridge's shoulder. He wanted to talk to her but decided to just let her be. She was going through enough right now.
His eyes went back to Donna. It was a horrible thing to think at this time but he couldn't help notice how beautiful she was. Why he noticed this he didn't know but he did. He shoved those thoughts out of his head. This wasn't the time. He had enough problems right now. The last thing he needed was one more thing to add to the pile. Donna came back over to her seat and sat down.
Whip noticed the scent of her perfume. A very sensual soft scent. Nice. He thought to himself. What are you doing you moron. He said to himself. Quit checking out Brooke's sister. She doesn't need you leering at her. And besides...aren't you in love with Brooke? He glanced over at Brooke again but again his eyes went right back to Donna. Then out of nowhere he noticed that he had gotten a slight erection. He sighed in frustration. What the hell is this! The woman is scared her mother is dying and you can't stop....He picked up a magazine trying to lose himself in it.
Donna sipped her drink and was puzzled by Whip's sudden mood change. What's with him? She wondered. He was acting all....anxious..she supposed was the word..."Are you okay?" She asked of him.
"Fine." He answered pretending to read an article. Just focus on the article. Whip told himself. Focus on reading about...what the hell was he reading? He had no idea. Whatever keep reading.
Donna shrugged and didn't say anything further. She checked her phone for any text message from Storm but none came. Brooke had talked to the hospital and there was no change.
Donna set up a prayer for her mother to pull through. Brooke was doing the same.

Deacon: Admit it. Don't you wonder every day what it would be like if I hadn't messed things up? You tell me right here, right now that you don't think about what it would be like for us to be in love now the way we were? Bridget, with you believing in me, there's nothing I can't do.
