Happy Early St. Patty's Day!!!
So this story has finally come to an end. Thank you to all who've read it. And a special thanks to all who posted about the story and to Therese.
I'm going to take a break for a while and work on my next story or stories. Maybe one where Ridge dies? Hopefully I'll be posting again by Memorial Day. We'll see. Thanks again.
"Seems like this is the end of the road of me being Dr. Meadows reincarnated," Sonny remarked, as she settled into her hospital bed.
"So it would seem. But you did a hell of a job, Dr. Meadows. And your to-die-for dimples were the only things that kept Cori quiet on the ambulance ride," Brooke smiled, then her smile turned into a serious expression with a tinge of regret. "Thank you. Thank you for everything. I never could have made it here without you."
"You had the counselor, Simone, Bobbie, Felicia, Amy, you would have been fine."
"Yes, they helped me a lot, but you were my rock in what was a very turbulent time in my life," she reminded him, gazing directly and intently into his eyes.
"Thank you for the joy you brought into my life. My mind hasn't been consumed with the fact I'm living back in Port Charles without Brenda."
With tears in her eyes, she took in her fill of a man who redefined her life, taught her so much. "If there is anything you ever need, all you have to do is say my name."
"Brooke, if you need anything, yo estoy aqui. Siempre."
"Siempre."
They held each other's gazes as their emotion-filled eyes said everything they could never and would never say to each other and held a hint of the passion and love that could never be and forever remain untapped.
"Am I interrupting?" Dara asked, feeling the emotion in the room as she stuck her head into Brooke's hospital room.
"Come in," Brooke greeted.
Making her way over to the bed, Dara gave Sonny a short, cordial acknowledgement. "Congratulations," she said, as she hugged her best friend.
"Thank you."
"Where is my cute little niece?"
"Simone is running some tests on her and I think hogging her from the rest of us. I think she and Mac are going to have one sooner rather than later." Propping herself up against her pillows, Brooke looked from Sonny to Dara. "Dara, were you serious when you said you would do whatever it took?
Dara nodded cautiously, wondering why Brooke was bringing this topic up now and in front of Sonny.
"Michael Corinthos, Junior, has the money, the power, the influence to make the Jensen/Quartermaine baby you carry into a permanent, no one knows but you, me, him, and the girls, Jensen/Corinthos baby."
Dara gasped.
Sonny was shocked, but worked hard not to show it.
"Dara Marie Jensen, that baby inside of you is more important to you than your job at the district attorney's office. You could finally teach law at the University or join Scotty Baldwin in private practice. Mac, Alex, and Marcus would learn to live with Sonny in your life. We would all make sure of it. He would love your child more than life itself and protect him or her from the Quartermaines. Sonny means no Easters spent by yourself, no Thanksgiving turkey on the Wednesday before or the Sunday after. Your family would be in tact, if you could put aside your pride and what you think you know about Sonny Corinthos," Brooke finished passionately.
When he said he would do anything for Brooke, he never imagined it would be anything like this.
"Brooke- - I can't. I c- -"
Brooke got out of bed and walked over to Dara. Taking Dara's hand in hers, she placed them on top of Dara's bump. "When Bridget was missing I would have gladly traded my life for her safe return in a heartbeat. What wouldn't you sacrifice for this child?"
"Look who's here," a voice cried out from outside the room.
The two best friends remained with their eyes locked on each other as Ridge walked into the room.
Sensing the intimacy and intensity in the room, the bright smile on Ridge's face slowly started to fade. "Is everything okay?"
"Yes," Brooke confirmed, looking into Dara's eyes for a second longer than turned to face Ridge. "Brogan Michael." Quickly walking to Ridge, she swept her son out of his arms. "Hi." She drank her full of her newest son, his jet black hair, his dark brown eyes, his olive hued skin tone. Two years they had waited, filled out paperwork, visited doctors, took fingerprints, but now holding Brogan Michael Forrester, all those things fled from her mind. Her precious, adorable, six-month-old son from Taiwan.
Looking at the adoration and utter joy in Brooke's eyes, Dara was paralyzed and overcome with emotion.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Let's go talk," Sonny whispered in her ear. He glanced one last time at Brooke with her son in her arms and her husband next to her. Turning to Dara, he quietly guided her out of the room. He found an empty office and escorted her inside, as his guard stood outside the door.
For the first time since she could remember, Dara was nervous. Nervous was an understatement, more like petrified. "What Brooke suggested- -"
"Are you serious about keeping your child away from the Quartermaines?" he asked bluntly.
"Yes. Brooke Lynn and my baby both deserve full-time parents."
"You're not doing this as a way to punish Ned for- -"
"No," she said vehemently. "I've done a lot of soul searching about this and this is what's best for everyone involved."
Looking into her eyes, he saw the truth and the same determination in her eyes as she had when they used to face each other as opponents in the courtroom. "We can be in Vegas in a few hours."
This was really happening. It was do or die time. "You and Brooke- -"
"Are friends. I'm glad she and Ridge worked things out. She loves him and I believe he loves her, too. He's just made some piss poor decisions."
A Vegas wedding. Could things be any tackier? But what was she expecting, a large wedding with all her family and friends as she married the man she had spent years trying to put in jail? "Can we stop by the DA's office? I need to hand in my letter of resignation."
Sonny nodded and opened the door for his soon-to-be-wife.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"How was the trip? Tell me everything. How was he? Was he scared when you first held him? Speak," she commanded, as she slowly undressed her quiet son as he stared at her intently.
Ridge looked at his wife and his son and for the first time in a long time he felt at peace; the only thing missing was their other children.
"Look who I found in the hallway," Simone announced.
"Daddy!" Bridget, Phoebe, and Stephanie screamed, causing Brogan and Cori to cry.
Brooke comforted Brogan as Ridge took Cori from Simone. Tommy and Ric climbed on the bed to sit next to their mother and newest brother while the girls plastered themselves all over Ridge's chair. The parents looked at each other and smiled.
Brooke Logan Forrester sent up a silent prayer that things could always be this good and when they weren't she would remember this supreme bliss they had fought so hard to achieve.
THE END

I don't think Brooke would have told Dara that it was okay for her to keep her child from his/her father.

I'm confused too. It's a great story and I enjoyed reading it in ONE long afternoon - but there are some missing links for me:
for example from the charades to the elevator and then to Brogan.
Don't misunderstand - I think it's a great idea not to dwell on every second, but in the beginning there was always a sketch of an explanation.
If these two little things could get such an 'explanation-sketch' too, there couldn't be anything more to be desired from your story.
