Awwwwwwwwh Nick and Brooke are so sweet, so perfect. I'm glad Brooke realized that the love she once had for Ridge is gone and she wants to try for a life with Nick. BRING IT ON!

What a relief, we ALL knew that the Brooke we know and love would wake up and realize that she was not in love with Ridge anymore..................I am so looking forward to see the everyday antics of family living with Brooke, Nick, Hope and the baby I love this family...............I am sure Ridge is going to do something underhanded..............the way it looks, he could physically hurt Brooke and not think twice about doing it..........

Later that evening, Brooke is playing with the kids on the floor while Nick does the dishes in the kitchen. The doorbell rings and Brooke goes to answer the door. It is Felicia who steps past Brooke into the room. “Where is Nick?” She says. “I have to speak with him.” Just then Nick walks out of the kitchen with a damp towel slung over his shoulder. He spies Felicia across the room and he says hello. Felicia launches herself across the room and into Nick’s arms. She drags him into a kiss, which surprises Nick. He gently sets her away and she grins at him and says “hello to you.” Nick starts to ask her what is going on when Brooke coolly excuses herself and says it’s time for her to put the children to bed. “Do you need help?” Nick asks. Brooke turns and looks him in the eye and says “No, I can handle it…alone.” She picks up RJ and leads Hope from the room up the stairs. Nick looks a little perturbed when he turns to Felicia. He asks her what that was all about. Felicia tells him she missed him, what’s wrong with that? Nick’s eyes narrow and he tells Felicia that she knows what is wrong with that. Felicia shrugs and adds shortly that Brooke shouldn’t care who kisses Nick. She’s still married unless she’s forgotten that she made vows with Ridge…richer, poorer, sickness, health…good times and bad. Nick tells Felicia that Brooke isn’t the same woman who made those vows…that the accident changed her forever. “Oh PLEASE!” Felicia says. “How convenient is THAT!” Nick asks, “What is it that you want Felicia?” “I want YOU, Nick,” she says. “Why?” Nick asks? Felicia is silent for a moment and then says “Because I lo…” “Because you LOVE me?” Nick asks shortly. “Yes,” Felicia says with a pout. Nick turns her face to his and their eyes meet. “You don’t really love me Felicia. You love the idea of me. The idea of two rebels getting together… us against the world.” Felicia is silent for a moment and says quietly, “You’re wrong Nick. I need you!” Nick shakes his head and smiles gently. “When we met, Felicia, we both needed a friend… someone to help us heal. We did that for one another. It was good for us both… real good. But love? I don’t think so and neither do you…not if you are honest with yourself.” Felicia looks sad for a moment, her eyes fill with tears. “We were good, weren’t we?” she says huskily. “You bet! I’ll always be here for you Felicia. Good friends always are.” Nick pulls her into his arms and kisses her forehead and then her lips lightly. She looks Nick in the eyes and tells him not to let HER hurt him. He smiles at Felicia and says that he hopes things will be different this time. Felicia turns and Nick sees her out the door. He closes the door and leans back against it. He looks up as Brooke comes down the stairs. She sees Nick and asks if Felicia has gone. Nick tells her, yes, she has left. Brooke relaxes visibly. “I know she’s your friend…” Nick interrupts saying, “Brooke, don’t go there. OK? Not tonight.” Brooke looks at him closely and sees he is hurting some. “The kids went right down,” she says changing the subject. Jenny must have pooped them out. Nick says nothing and walks to the terrace door and looks out over the city. Brooke walks up behind Nick and gives him a quick hug. He says looking out the window that the test results should be in tomorrow. Brooke tells him that she wants to go with him to get the results. And Ridge needs to be there as well. It’s the only way he’ll believe the results. Nick agrees and comments that she is still married to Ridge. Still staring out the window he tells Brooke she should be in bed. She still needs her rest. She steps away a little hurt and says goodnight and walks up the stairs. Later that evening, Brooke comes down the stairs to a darkened room because she can’t sleep. She notices the terrace door is still open and she goes to stare out at the twinkling lights as Nick had done several hours earlier. Unknown to her, Nick is sitting in the dark on the sofa, smoking a cheroot. It glows in the dark unnoticed by Brooke who is deep in her own thoughts… her filmy dressing gown and hair lifting in the slight breeze. Nick has been wrestling all evening with the fact that Brooke is still a married woman… he can’t possibly make love to a married woman… it would be wrong. Brooke turns her face up to catch the warm breeze. Suddenly the cheroot is ground out and Nick says softly, “To hell with it!” and he goes to Brooke pulling her into his arms. They fall together in a passionate kiss and he picks her up, carries Brooke up the stairs and into her bedroom. He kicks the door shut behind them and crosses to the bed with Brooke still in his arms….they fall to the bed consumed by long-withheld passion…..

OMG! newconvert, I love the passionate scene. I just wonder if it is in Nick to make love to Brooke while she is still married to Ridge.

I will be away on business for the next 2 weeks and unable to connect. So, I'll leave you with this and keep writing in my journal so i can transfer it when I get home.
The next morning, Brooke wakes up in bed and stretches under covers. She smiles in memory. The connecting bathroom door opens and Nick steps into the room with a towel wrapped around his waist, hair dripping from a shower. Brooke props herself up on her elbows and openly admires Nick’s body. “Good Morning, Gorgeous,” Nick says as he approaches the bed. “A very good morning,” Brooke responds and lifts her arms for Nick to bend down and kiss her. Nick complies nicely and after breaking from a long passionate kiss says, “Brooke, about last night…” “Shhhh…” Brooke says placing her finger over Nick’s lips. “Last night was perfect.” “We need to talk, Brooke,” Nick goes on. Brooke sits up and throws back the covers. “We do, Nick, but …” The phone rings beside Brooke’s bed. Brooke answers and passes the phone to Nick telling him it’s for him. Nick speaks into the phone and he says “Great, 1pm? We’ll be there.” He hangs up the phone and tells Brooke that the DNA results are in. He looks very nervous and Brooke reaches out to him and says “Don’t do this to yourself, Nick. Remember what Deacon told us. How could the baby NOT be yours?” Nick looks away and says, “I don’t think I could bear to lose you and the baby and Hope again. Not now, not after last night.” Brooke takes Nick’s arms and turns him to face her. “That won’t happen Nick. Whether you like it or not you’re stuck with us. I plan to ask Ridge for a divorce this afternoon. The timing is bad, I know… a divorce request on top of the paternity results, but there is no sense in dragging this out.” Nick puts his forehead on hers and she continues, “And if, by some bizarre twist of fate the baby turned out to be Ridge’s, I will still ask for the divorce. It is over between Ridge and I, for good. Do you believe me?” Nick looks into Brooke’s eyes and tells her, “I’m trying….hey, we better get dressed so we can get to the lab on time. I’ll call Ridge and tell him to be there.” Brooke agrees and suggests they invite Massimo as well. Ridge may need him.
At 1pm they arrive at the lab to find Ridge and Massimo already there. Ridge’s eyes meet Brooke’s, who looks away from the anger she sees reflected there. The lab technician comes out and asks them all to be seated. He tells them that this is a bit unorthodox, that normally this conversation would be occurring in a doctor’s office somewhere, but he knows there were some real concerns about test validity. He explains their security methods. He tells them that they were already aware that the tests would be done in two independent labs to prevent suspected tampering. He goes on to explain that what they didn’t know was that he also sent the samples to a third lab that only he knew about. Ridge gets impatient and says “Can you just give us the results…please.” The technician looks at him and explains that he wants them to understand that there couldn’t possibly have been any tampering. All three tests show that Dominic is the baby’s father. Nick gives a huge sigh of relief and pulls Brooke into his arms. His eyes are moist as he murmurs “Thank God!” “Get your hands off my wife!” Ridge shouts and lunges toward Nick. Massimo grabs Ridge and stops him from laying into Nick. “I’ll just leave you all to sort out the details,” says the technician who nervously turns and leaves the room. Ridge repeats his demand that Nick get his hands off of Brooke. Brooke walks over to Ridge and tells him to please sit down. She needs to talk to him. Ridge sits petulantly and Brooke sits next to him. Ridge is suddenly overcome by the fact that he has lost RJ. He is sitting staring painfully into space when Brooke quietly tells him that she is filing for a divorce this afternoon. Ridge says nothing still staring into space. “Ridge,” Brooke repeats, “I want you to know that I plan to file for divorce this afternoon.” Nick is watching Ridge closely ready to spring to Brooke’s defense if necessary. “No,” Ridge says coldly. “You are not,” He turns his head and looks Brooke in the eyes. “No judge in his right mind will grant a woman who has lost her memory a divorce, let alone custody of a child. Not when he hears how much in love she was before the accident, how her mind has been tainted by one “brother” who was jealous of another. It won’t fly Logan. I’ll get both you AND the baby back. Why would they give some sea captain custody of my son?” “He’s my son, Ridge. You’ll stay away from him,” Nick demands. Ridge stands to leave and turns to them both, “I’ll contest this divorce. I won’t lose you Logan…or the baby. You both belong to me not some two bit…” Nick lunges toward Ridge but this time Massimo stops him. Ridge walks out the door as Brooke sinks back down into a chair. Nick goes to her and tells Massimo that he better go after Ridge and talk some sense into him. Brooke is still stunned by Ridge’s reactions but Nick pulls her up and into his arms. “Let’s go see our son!”

Thanks so much for the chapter. I love seeing Brooke and Nick so much in love. I can understand Ridge being upset and not wanting to lose Brooke and the baby but he had no right to attack Nick. Have a good trip and I'll be waiting on baited breath for more!

I love this chapter. I like it very much that Brooke said that it is really over between Ridge and her, that she is still asking Ridge for a divorce even if the baby is Ridge's. That shows that she is really over her obsession with Ridge. I am so happy that Nick can finally have his son back. I also love it that Nick & Brooke are so in love with each other. Yeah!! Thanks so much newestconvert for the story.

I'm baaaack..........missed you all!
Massimo follows Ridge to his car. He gets silently into the passenger seat and they drive in silence to Ridges home. It is obvious that Ridge is fuming. Ridge storms into his house followed by Massimo and begins to pace in front of the fireplace. “ He won’t have her….or the baby!” Ridge says. Massimo touches ridges arm and tells him to try to calm down. Ridge looks at Massimo and tells him that he can’t calm down. He is losing everything, his wife, his son. Massimo quietly reminds Ridge that the baby is Nick’s son, not his. Ridge looks at Massimo and tells him that a sperm donor does not a father make. He was there when the baby was born, he was there with Brooke when she gave birth. Brooke WANTED Ridge to be the father. Massimo says softly that Brooke wanted a lot of things back then, or thought she did. She would have married nick if the paternity test had been accurate. Ridge picks up on this and asks how it could have been misread. How could they have gotten it wrong twice? Massimo tells Ridge that people can be bought, tests can be changed. Ridge stares at him in silence for a moment…and asks Who? Who would do that? Massimo remains silent and Ridge realizes that Mass knows. Dad, he says, playing on Mass’s emotions. You know, don’t you? Who is it? Mass looks pained for a moment but finally tells him that Eric changed the tests out of love for him and Brooke. He thought he was doing the right thing, bringing them together. Ridge is stunned and the door is flung open and Felicia rushes in. “I just heard,” she says. “Nick called me!” She grabs Ridge and pulls him into a big hug. “ I am SO sorry!” Ridge hugs her back and then tells her that he is sorry as well. She must be hurting some. She says some but she only lost a boyfriend… he lost a son. Ridge looks at her and tells her he hasn’t lost yet, neither of them has. He intends to prove that Brooke is not in her right mind… he’ll get custody of RJ and Brooke will follow. Felicia looks at Mass who is shocked by this…..
Meanwhile, Brooke and Nick arrive back at her place and Nick rushes to pick up the baby and spins him happily around in a circle. Brooke watches his joy and is suddenly overcome by sadness. She tries to hide it when Nick turns to her. He asks Brooke if she thinks they could change RJ’s name. Dominick Jr has a nice ring, doesn’t it? Brooke’s eyes begin to fill and she turns away and says yes… it’s perfect. Nick misses the tears and hugs and twirls the baby again. Brooke quietly leaves them alone and walks out onto the veranda. She is overcome with emotion, finally facing the trials of the past few hours. After some intense time with the baby, nick looks up and realizes Brooke has stepped outside. He kisses DJ and puts him in his playpen. He walks out onto the veranda and hugs Brooke from behind, laying his chin on her hair. “What are you thinking?” he asks. Brooke is quiet for a minute and finally says, “How badly I have messed everything up.” Nick turns her to face him and he sees the distress on her face, tears in her eyes. He pulls her in closer and says, “Brooke, we all mess things up now and then. Cut yourself a break.” She can’t look him in the eye. She finally says, “Everything I touch, everyone I love… I break or hurt.” Nick tips her chin up and makes her look him in the eye. “Some people’s path is well lit and they find their way with no problem. Others have moments of brilliance, flashes of light, that illuminate the wrong path. The important thing is that they find their true path to happiness, home, in the end… When I met you Brooke, from the first moment I saw you, I knew we were going to be on the same path. I just never knew if we would end up walking it together. I want that more than anything I have ever wanted, Brooke. I want to take that journey with you… and our son and Hope. I love you, Brooke.” He lowers his lips to hers and kisses her with passion………………

Welcome back, newestconvert. Thanks for the instalment which is so good. So Ridge is up to his old tricks again. Even if Ridge is successful in his lies to make it look like Brooke is not in her right mind, he isn't the father. Nick is, and Nick is going to get custody of the baby.

Brooke returns Nick’s passionate kiss and hugs him closely for a moment. She then looks up at him and tells him that she must go out for a bit. She has some errands to run. Nick’s eye narrow and he asks, “You’re going to see Ridge, aren’t you?” Brooke replies, “I owe it to him, Nick. This has been hard for him. Maybe if I talk to him he’ll calm down, be more accepting.” Nick snorts and replies, “ That will never happen. I don’t like it Brooke. Not when he is in this mood. He’s out for vengeance and unpredictable.” Brooke tells Nick that he’s over reacting, Ridge might be angry but he wouldn’t hurt her. Nick makes Brooke promise to call him when she arrives at Ridge’s and when she leaves. Brooke promises and kisses him lightly on the lips. “Thank you for caring so much. It means a lot to me. Now, go play with your son!” She turns to leave and Nick pulls her back for one last, long kiss. “Be careful out there and hurry home.” Brooke promises to be quick and leaves. Nick goes and picks up RJ from the playpen and gets down on the floor with him and Hope. Later in the day, Brooke stops by Ridge’s. He is still at home, brooding about the events of the day. He opens the door to her and Brooke asks if she can come in. Ridge sarcastically bows to her as he opens the door and waves her in. We need to talk Ridge. Ridge rudely tells her that he is listening. Brooke tells ridge that she is sorry he was hurt in all of this. She never meant to hurt him. “But things change, isn’t that what comes next Logan?” Ridge says angrily. Brooke looks him square in the eye and says, “Yes. Sometimes. Maybe things were never really what we thought they were to begin with, Ridge. All I know is what they are now. What the reality is now. “ “And that reality is you without me… me without our son…” Ridge states coldly. Brooke corrects ridge, “Nick’s son, Ridge. You know what the tests said.” Ridge fires back, “That’s crap, Brooke. Nick was the sperm donor. You only turned to him out of grief for me! I am that boy’s father. I am your husband. Don’t fight me on this Logan. I’ll take you to court. Who will side with a woman who’s lost her memory…who suddenly falls out of love with her adoring husband?” “Don’t do this Ridge. You’ll end up hurting us all,” Brooke pleads. Ridge tells her that Nick will not have her or his son. Brooke pulls some papers from her purse. “You should know Ridge that I stopped by the court house. I have petitioned to have the baby’s birth certificate changed to reflect Nick as the father. They have a copy of the paturity tests…all three of them.” Ridge is about to explode but she continues, “And I have officially change his name to Dominic Marone.” Ridge grabs Brooke and shakes her. “I won’t let you do this Brooke…over my body!” Felicia bursts into the room and pulls Ridge off of Brooke. She holds him off telling him to stop and breathe… get a hold of himself. Brooke is shaking but goes on, “I am really sorry Ridge. I hoped we could remain friends. She pulls one more packet of papers out of her purse. “Divorce papers. I want a divorce Ridge. I’m sorry but I don’t love you.” Ridge lunges at her but Felicia holds him back. “You won’t get away with this Logan. I swear it!” Felicia, having trouble holding Ridge back, tells Brooke to go while she still can. Brooke goes to the door but turns and says, “You’re wrong about Nick being just a sperm donor Ridge. I may have been devastated at losing you but I was with Nick on that island because I wanted to be. Maybe that was the beginning of my realization that I had made the wrong choice in husbands. But when I was with Nick, I can assure you, it was NICK I wanted to be with. If you’re honest with yourself you’ll admit that you only wanted me because you thought you couldn’t have me…” Felicia tells Brooke to shut up and get out! Brooke leaves closing the door behind her.
Brooke is in her car and calls Nick from her cell phone. She tries to tell him calmly that she is on her way home but Nick senses something in her voice. He tells her to be careful driving because there is a family waiting at home for her. She tells him she’ll be home shortly. When Brooke arrives home it is after dark and Nick is waiting for her with a glass of wine and a single red rose. Brooke is a tad tongue tied, moved by Nick’s romantic gesture. “I never did give you enough flowers or wining and dining but I’m going to change that,” he says. Brooke still speechless hands Nick a stack of papers. Nick smiles at her and asks her, “What’s this? Light reading for dinner?” Brooke smiles and tells him to read them. Nick glances down and sees the petition to change RJ’s birth certificate and his name to Dominic. Now Nick is speechless and he turns away from Brooke, blinking tears from his eyes. Brooke, unsure of Nick’s reaction, says, “I hope you don’t mind that I did this without you. I wanted it done as quickly as possible. I wanted the truth on paper.” Nick says emotionally, “Mind? No, no…how could I mind. I am honored…Brooke…” “Ridge wasn’t too thrilled, Nick. He may push back. He threatened to have me named mentally incompetent. All the more reason to have the truth on paper,” Brooke explains. “Was that why you did this?” Nick asks, “because you are afraid of Ridge?” “No, NO!” Brooke exclaims. “I did it because it’s the right thing. Both you and Dominick have the right to one another.” Nick pulls her close and lowers his forehead to hers. “Thank you, Brooke. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.” Brooke kisses him and tells him that right now, she couldn’t be happier. She tells him to look at the other documents. Nick sees the divorce papers and is stunned. “You really did give it to Ridge, didn’t you. No wonder he wasn’t happy.” “THAT,” Brooke says, “is an understatement. He’s not going to let go without a fight.. not of me or the baby.” Nick pulls Brooke close and tells her that she is not alone in this fight, he’s here for her…to stay if she wants him. Brooke smiles slyly at Nick and touches his cheek. “ Oh, she wants him,” Brooke says, “she wants him.” Nick takes her hand and leads Brooke up to her bedroom. There, she finds a candlelit table set with dinner for two. Around the room there are dozens of white candle lit and flickering. “Hungry?” Nick asks. “Starving,” Brooke replies, “for you!” They come together in a passionate kiss…………..

Yessss!!!! Our girl Brooke is back and she is taking names and kicking some butt too.
I can see that Nick and Brooke will have a battle on their hands with Ridge and Felicia both digging in their heels to keep them apart.
I can see that thinks will get worse before they get better and I want Brooke and Nick to fight for their love and son and kick Ridge and Felicia butts.

too much turkey! Speaking of turkeys....let's get to it!
The next morning Brooke is stretching as she begins to wake. She opens her eyes and sees Nick come into the room from the shower with a towel around his hips. She smiles coyly at him and says that he can’t possibly be thinking of leaving her so soon. He walks over and kisses her and says that he has to work now and then. Brooke a pout and ends up giggling. She reaches up and pulls him in for another kiss and says Oh, just go ahead and dessert me! Nick tells her that tonight he’ll not only dessert her, but wine and dine her as well. She watches Nick dress with delight telling him that she can hardly wait. She sobers a bit and says that she thinks she misses working. “I love being with the children but I feel like I am missing something when I am not working.” Nick looks over at her and tells her she could go back to work at Forrester. Brooke looks skeptical and says ridge would hardly welcome that. Nick reminds her that she is a major share holder. She tells him that may be but right now she is most definitely persona non grata. Nick predicts that will change in time. Meanwhile she should keep drawing. He goes over and kisses her one last time and says he has to go if he’s going to see DJ and Hope before he leaves. Brooke smiles and tells him to hurry home. He winks at her and closes the door behind him. Later that morning, Brooke is playing with the the children when the phone rings. It is Ridge. He tells her that he needs to see her to discuss the divorce. Brooke tells him to call her lawyer if he has any questions. Ridge says, “Logan, you’ll come talk to me if you want the divorce. Otherwise, I’ll contest.” Brooke thinks on it a moment and asks when. He tells her to come to his office at 1:30…he’ll see her then. She agrees and hangs up. Ridge hangs up the phone and smiles secretively. Brooke arrives at Forrester at precisely 1:30. She is shown into Ridges office. Ridge turns from some work and says “Hello Logan. Glad you could make it.” “You left me no choice,” Brooke says. “Everyone has choices Brooke. How about a drink?” Brooke looks at Ridge and says she’ll have a tea. Ridge hands her some papers and walks over to the coffee/tea mess. “What is this?” Brooke asks. Ridge tells her it is a custody proposal. Brooke begins to protest and Ridge asks her to please read the document first. Brooke looks wary but begins to read the document. Over at the mess, Ridge blocks the cups from Brooke’s view. Engrossed in the documents, Brooke doesn’t see Ridge slip a into her tea. He approaches Brooke and sets the tea in front of her. “It’s Chamomile,” he says. “What? asks Brooke? “The tea, Chamomile.” “Oh,” says Brooke and she begins to sip the tea. She reads for a while longer and looks up. “I see no point in this, Ridge. The baby is Nick’s,” Brooke says. “I still love him Brooke. Doesn’t mean I can turn that off. How is the tea? It’s a new brand.” Brooke sips deeply and says that it has an interesting flavor but she likes it. She takes a last long sip and goes to stand. Brooke sways as she gets to her feet. She puts a hand to her head as Ridge rushes to her side. “You’ve been overdoing it Brooke!” Brooke looks at him but his face is quickly becoming fuzzy. “I’m so tired. ..so tired.” Ridge takes her arm and begins to usher her from his office. He tells Brooke that he’ll call the limo to take her home so she can rest. Brooke is too tired to argue as Ridge leads her from the building. He helps her into a limo with smoked glass and gets in after her telling her he’d better see her home. Brooke leans her head back on the seat and closes her eyes. “Nick,” she whispers and falls into a deep sleep. “Before we’re through, Logan, you won’t want anyone but ME.” He hits the intercom and tells the driver that he’s ready. He knows where to take them. The limo pulls away from the curb, away from Forrester creations…away from the city……

Why am I not surprised Ridge has always been vindictive and underhanded at getting what he wants.........I just hope that Nick can save her and figures out what is going on before it is too late.........Maybe Ridges actions will bring back Brooke memory

Ridge is true to form and he will do anything so that he doesn't lose. My girl Brooke has always been to trusting when it comes to Ridge and it what always gets her into trouble where he is concern. Can't wait for the next installment.
