With just about everyone looking on, Bridget confirmed that Taylor was in early labor. When they got to the hospital, the doctor was calm about the timing, but Thomas, Phoebe and Jackie were as worried as they were excited. In the delivery room, the doc was ready to have Taylor push, but the baby's heart rate starting dropping. When the doc had Bridget prepare for a C-section, Taylor objected, but the doc also asked the mother to push. When Carl heard what was up, he worried they'd need to know the identity of the real mother, but Bridget told him to stay out of it. After Bridget returned to the room, there was another scare, but then the baby came out screaming. Nick and Taylor held and cooed over their new child while an emotional Bridget spread the word.

Ridge talked to reporter Jared about finally taking back the Forrester's baby, Forrester Originals. Jared wanted to rush the story onto his mag's cover, insisting the "money shot" was Ridge and Brooke, "Fashion's supercouple back where they belong." Ridge insisted Eric was the story, so Jared asked how his fiancé Ashley felt about him working with Brooke again. Then Brooke showed up and Jared was excused so Brooke could tell Ridge about Taylor's labor. She was as nervous as the family and called Bridget for an update, which only left her more worried. He mused that, considering her past with Taylor, "It's amazing the sympathetic feeling for this child," but she only shrugged that her relationship with his kids made this new child family too.

After Eric checked in on Taylor, Donna commended him for standing beside a friend even when he was mad at Nick. Then she revealed she had a showdown with Katie and asked how he felt about their relationship news hitting the wires. He wanted to be the one to tell Stephanie, out of respect to her, and also wanted to postpone dealing with the "strong opinions" of his family and "keep you to myself." She was touched. Unfortunately, Felicia overheard their chat and interrupted their makeup kiss. She immediately went on the attack, insisting, "Whatever the problem is, you can get past it. Don't throw a lifetime away on Donna."
