This chapter has been moved to the new archive board.

Noooooo, this was just way to dramatic! First of all, she was really pregnant, it is normal that which such a fall ... But oh my god, this is just way too sad. And I really hope there won't be any brain dammage. Because they'll have a really hard time coping with their loss (hopefully together when Brooke awakes) and Ian, this is just too much for a man to take.
But I really liked how you wrote this story, they all seem to care for Brooke and well you just proved that friends and family stick together, no mather what. But this brings me to another point RIDGE, what a SOB. :-XBut I really did more focus on the Brooke and Ian parts, because well you just dragged me into this story and I didn't stop until it was finished. I just hope Brooke will be alright! I loved the reaction of Rick, when he heard that his mother was pregnant. That was really Rick. And Bridget supporting their relationship is all that Brooke would have wanted, if she would wake up. Can't wait to read the next chapter. And I hope it will be a bit less dramatic. You would have thought I'd see it coming, the dramatic scenes, but it was very sad, you made me cry at the end of the chapter.
But again you did a fantastic job and I had some high expectations of this chapter and you sure didn't let me down. :-/It was not really how I thought they would reunite, with Brooke in the hospital, she still doesn't know Ian is safe

[Logan]

Damnit I KNEW you were gonna do that.
When you mentioned Ian loosing something. I KNEW it!
Poor Ian and poor Brooke.
Stephanie is a bitch and half and more. Can't even have the DECENCY
to tell Ridge what happened. No No No he may leave Taylor. God forbid...
What a BITCH!!
Get the company back. All about the company with Stephers.
Have I mentioned I think she's a bitch?

Well it's certainly and interesting situation there for my Beacon.
It's sad when an employer can't see that family is more important.
You would think they would. I understand about other people having to
take some of the workload but that's life. That's what ya gotta do.
I don't know why Bridget would ever think Deacon wouldn't be happy
about having a baby with her. I guess it's just the usuall nerves.
I know my Deacon. He would be VERY happy.

[Lexxie]

Wow!!! Missy, I loved it all! The drama, the set-ups, everything! thank you

Stefhers is even worse than usual! She totally got why Ridge was feeling so bad once she found out Brooke was hurt. I hope someone will tell him quickly what had happened to Brooke, and I hope Flea will let it slip that she knows what happened in Paris, and why Brooke turned him down!

Rick actually hit Ian! wow! I can understand him, especially because he had mostly heard the bad things about Ian from Bridget, and not the good that Bridget has just only discovered herself. I was impressed! That's how Rick is, protective

Poor Ian, coming home after being thought dead, and find the woman he loves like that! I hope you'll make her recovery quite fast, and you better make sure she gets back to Forrester in time!!

I love how you're setting up a possible romance between Taylor and Pierce! Taylor deserves better than this Ridge. He's so eaten up by his revenge plans he doesn't have any love left in him at all.

Thanks for a great chapter, i really loved it!

Yesss! This WAS a very dramatic chapters in so many ways. You've got Brooke's head injury, the helicopter resuce with the S.E.A.L.S, Bridget and Ian's truce, Ridge's connection to Brooke and finally the relevation that Brooke was pregant and lost the baby. This chapter was everything because it deals with the human elements and emotions. Then, there is the added drama dealing what is wrong with Brooke? Will she wake up? Will they have to go in and do the brain surgery and if so what type of damage will she have? You'll have to wait and see.

Brooke and Ian have a lot of people and support around them. Brooke espeically has her children and new friends to rally around her. I really wanted it to be about Brooke and Ian. That is one of the reasons that I didn't write Amber going with them. I wanted the focus to be on Brooke. Only people who love and care for her would be by her bedside.

As the same time Ridge's is turning down a dark path in his deeds and actions. He's drinking, wearing dark clothes and planning no good. BUT notice, it's Brooke's voice he heard when she was in pain. He can't shake the feeling that something is wrong and there was. Ridge is still connected to Brooke.

Rick is very protective of his mother. I can see Kyle Lowder playing this part, so I wanted Rick to be more than just a business man but also a man who could stand up to anyone for his mother. Rick's reaction was realistic. Here is 40 something mother is pregnant by a man he doesn't know. But at the same time we've got Bridget supporting Brooke and Ian now because she's seen the love that they share along with the fact that Ian isn't after her mother's money. I'm sure that Bridget will fill Rick in on the truth about how things are btween her mother and Ian.

Ian is in a not of pain right now. In that moment, every dream of a future he wanted but never admitted to wanting with Brooke became and reality and then was taken away. He knows there is a chance that things may never be the same for Brooke again but he has hope. He loves her.

Thanks so much for your comments. I'm glad that you enjoyed the chapter even if it made you cry. Hell, I wanted to cry myself for Ian.

SO you knew what I was going to do? LOL...Poor Ian is right. He comes back to be with the woman he loves and finds her hurt and along with the fact that she's lost the baby he didn't even know about. Sorry I had to do it but it's all part of the drama without making it TOO dramatic in a sense. As upsetting as it is, if Brooke makes it out of the woods, I have a feeling that they will be stronger because of the lost.

Stephanie is a BITCH. She wants her company back and she'll do anything to get it. Use Amber and even lie to Ridge. The last thing she wants was Ridge to feel sorry for Brooke. She knows that deep down there are still feelings but she wants that anger.

Deacon's boss is an asshole. This is a family emergency and he needs to be there for his family. Deacon make a choice and isn't going to regret it. He loves Bridget. He wants to be there for her. Rick is going to see how strong Deacon is for his sister and maybe ....notice I said maybe he'll begin to see there is more to Deacon that meets the eye. As for Bridget it's young mother's nerves. The baby wasn't planned and it will change their lives so she's nervous. But she doesn't have anything to be nervous about....athough there will be plenty of people who won't be happy about this baby.

Thanks for the comments Logan. I know you are happy about the Breacon Baby!

Lexxie...I gotta run to work. But I will have comments on your response when I get home tonight. Thanks so much for them ! ;D

Glad that you enjoyed the chapter. Oh....Stephanie is getting worse by the mintue. Her focus is on getting Forrester back at any cost. She didn't understand what was wrong with Ridge until Amber told her about Brooke's accident, then it all fell into place. There was no way that she was going to tell Ridge the truth. She knows him and knows his real feelings. She isn't about to let him backslide...she has her son where she wants him. BUT how in the world is she going to keep a lid on the fact that Brooke's in the hosptial.... Well, she'll think of something.

Ridge is very much still connected to Brooke. His love has turned to hate and obession but will that always be the case when he finds out the truth? Who knows?

Felicia knows the truth and Thorne suspects there is more to the Paris affair than he knows. Felicia doesn't intend to tell Ridge, Brooke swore her to secretcey....besides, Felicia understand why Brooke did what she did. But will Felicia tell the truth when she finds out what Ridge has planned. If she does what will Ridge do?

My Rick is actually in my head being protrayed by KL that means this Rick is a little more "manly". He's very protective about his mother. He did hear all things about Ian but he wanted to meet the man on his own before he judged, but when he found out his mother was pregnant.....all good intentions went out of the window. He let his fist fly..LOL adhtough Ian was able to control him at the end. Still, ian kinda respects Rick for standing up for his mother.

Pierce and Taylor...you betca I'm setting up something there. Taylor has been nothing more than Ridge's Stephford wife. She always thought that if Brooke was out of the picture everything would be fine. Well...Brooke's gone but Ridge is obessed. He pays no attention to Taylor and is neglecting their marriage. She's happy that she "won" the war but her spoils aren't looking so good. BUT...how far will things go with Pierce? You'll have to see. But one thing for sure, he's handsome, attentive, intellegent and still has a thing for her.

Poor Ian has gone through the ringger. Still he's a strong man. Although he's devestated about losing the baby, he is still committed to Brooke. We will see more and more just how much Ian really loves Brooke. He is the man for her...make no doubt out of it!

Thanks for the comments. I really appericate them so much! ;D

[stellerJ2]

What no happy ending?

[yash]

Missy,

You blow me away.

Ian comes back from the dead, only to find the love of his life teetering on the ledge and jumping, he can't save her. And not only couldn't he stop her, he didn't save the baby neither of them knew she was carrying. With all of that, he now has to worry about if Brooke will make it, will they have to do brain surgery, and if so, what sort of damage might that lead her with? When it rains it pours. Thank goodness Ian is strong and has a great support system. Sounds like he's going to need it.

Ridge. Ridge. Ridge. There is a thin line between love and hate. He seems to be on the hate side, but what I loved about Brooke and Ridge and what you've so simple captured is their connection. Whether friends, lovers, or enemies, they are still connected. Ridge better get his butt in motion and go see about Brooke. I think if he put his alcohol soaked brain to it, he could find her.

Deacon is truly stepping up to the plate. I love it! I know he'll be worried about how to take care of Budge and the baby when he finds out about the pregnancy, but I know he'll handle his business.

I loved the Ian and Bridget truce. Though she has opened a can of worms...What's going to happen when Ian finds out all about Brooke's Forrester history? Will Rick accidentally more about Brooke's past? Loved Rick's punch. That's right Rick you defend your family.

You had me feeling sorry for Taylor. She deserves more than she's getting, maybe Pierce can show her that.

Oh Stephanie, Ridge is going to blast her when he finds out the truth. Maybe she'll be exposed at the board meeting. This board meeting is sound like more and more fun. Flea is coming home full of secrets. Steph has secrets. And way over there in Colorado, Brooke has secrets which Ian doesn't know about but her kids do, not realizing they are secrets. Ah, yes, the drama continues....

I will now go in search for your beginning chapters because I don't think I read your story from their very beginning. What happened in gay Paris? Obviously something big....

Wow...that is high praise Yash...Thanks so much! I'm thrilled that I can enterain you. I'm also happy that you are still committed to reading this story after all these years. Thank you for that... ;D

This chapter was full of drama. Instead of the romantic reunion with his love Ian has found himself living a nightmare. Brooke's jump could have killed her and she's not outof the woods. ian knows that he could lose her. What makes this even more devestating was the fact that they lost a baby that they didn't even know about. All Ian knows is that he would have loved...loved this baby. In fact in the moment, he did. Brooke may have to have surgery and even with that, there is no indication what her result may be. Brooke could never wake up. He knows that it it's killing him waiting to see.

Ian has a strong support system who wants to be there for him. This is tough. Ace and the others are going to support him every chance they get. This is chance for me to show just how strong men can be for each other.

There is a line between love and hate and right now...Ridge is on the hate side yet at the same time there is love mixed with obession. Whether they be lovers, enemies or friends they will always be in each other's orbit in some way. Ridge clearly heard Brooke's voice but he is shaking it off not wanting to reach out and figure out what's going on. He also couldn't shake the feeling that something that wasn't right. It wasn't. He's still very much connected. This could very much so complicate matters when dealing with Brooke and Ian who are very much connected. Believe me, he will be very much effected when he realizes that Brooke is in serious conditions. But what will happen in the end...will his love for Brooke or his hate win in the end?

Deacon is proving what kind of man that he is. He is stepping up to the plate and will continue to do so. He's an aggervise man who will stand up for what he believe in. But this is a man who loves his wife. Bridget calms the tiger in him. He will prove to be resourceful. Rick will begin to see the changes and will finally realizes just how much Deacon loves Bridget. But Rick won't be the only one. Watch Amber....she's focusing on her desigining and her baby but a part of her will be shocked and hurt when she realizes that Deacon truly loves Bridget.

Bridget and Ian finally come to a truce. She's opened up her eyes and sees the love that her mother has for Ian and he has for her. She also sees that it was never about her mother's money or image. She's going to be the biggest cheerleader for this couple because she wants her mother to be really happy. Bridget has unknowlingly opened a can of worms by giving hints to Brooke's past. She has no idea that ian doesn't know all the complexcies of Brooke's marriages or that he thinks that Ridge is her father.

As for Rick, he's going to watch Ian. That's a start. He is very protective of his mother. She's been hurt and men have really messed up his life. Unlike Bridget the punch didn't come from a preconcieved idea, he was willing to give him a chance. But it came from the fact that this man, who he doesn't know, had unprotected sex with his mother. It was a shock for him. Just think, Amber is pregnant, Bridget's pregnant and Brooke would have been pregnant at the same time. LOL. Now THAT"S Funny

Taylor has everything she's ever wanted by having Brooke out of her marriage but she isn't happy. Ridge isn't the man she fell in love with. He's becoming so cold and heartless wit her. He has no time for her. She's very lonely. Pierce is going to offer her frienship and something more. He wants Taylor. Always have. Now it's getting interesting.

You can bet that Ridge is going to be furious when he finds the truth. Stephanie has kept this from on purpose and for a very good reason. She knows what this could mean for her and for the company. She loves Ridge but she wants him to stay married to Taylor and get the company back from Brooke. She will do anything to make that happen. Even sacraficing her children to get it. Deep down she knows it's wrong but that doesn't bother her.

Felicia is coming home with secrets....actually you'll find out more than one. She knows the truth about Brooke and Ridge. Will she tell Ridge? If she does, how will it effect him? Will he dump Taylor to try to get Brooke back? Not is Stephanie has anything to say about it!

The board room drama is certainly going to be explosive!!!

As for Paris...Brooke and Ridge had an affair. This was after she and Thorne spilt and Ridge travelled with her for business. Things heated up between them and Ridge decided to leave Taylor. Be brought Brooke an engagment ring and asked Brooke to marry him, Brooke agreed. But when Thomas became ill Brooke ralized how much asking Ridge to leave his children would affect him. She decided to do what was best for his children out of fear that one day that he'd hate her for forcing him to hurt his children. So, Brooke lied and told Ridge she had only been using him to get back at Taylor and Stephanie for not supporting her when she and Thorne's marriage ended. Ridge felt as if he were used by Brooke and his love turned to hate. Brooke spent the next few months in Paris to strengthen her resolve to let Ridge go and get her life back in order. That was when she came back to America and met Ian.

I hope this helps you. Thanks so much for you comments. I love them.
