00:14into my life how many times do I have to tell you this this idea is insane well Daphne didn't
00:19think
00:19so Daphne doesn't know what's going on Carter if she did I had to float it by her stephy I
00:25had to
00:25see how she felt about it I'm already pregnant with your child that's why we have to act now
00:30that's why there's no time to waste it be so say you'll do this say you'll do this for me
00:34for
00:35Daphne and that precious life inside of you go to Steffi and ask her to be our donor and surrogate
00:53Carter I don't know what to say it's so tempting then make the right decision ask her I I I
01:02can't
01:03I couldn't put Steffi on the spot like this Daphne hi hi are these the samples you were talking about
01:14yes sorry I was somewhere else yes gotcha all right we got to get into Steffi's and they're coming into

01:47all okay you do I
01:49have everything everything all right I'm hoping you can tell me is it a medical question
01:56I'm a maternal one I'm here to discuss my daughter I want to know if she's being more honest with
02:02you
02:02than she is with me I probably shouldn't be telling the company CEO that I am distracted
02:10listen I get it you and Carter and fertility issues and it's all consuming right then more that I can't
02:19stop
02:19thinking about what we discussed earlier I called my obi I told her that I was ready to go ahead
02:25with
02:26the egg donor and a surrogate what I that that is a big deal I know and I'm excited and
02:33I'm looking
02:33forward to start a family with Carter you're worried Steffi hasn't been the same since she
02:39came back from Monaco yeah believe me I share your concern Steffi she she's struggling with something
02:47but look whatever it is it won't negatively impact her marriage you're putting me and your wife in a
02:52terrible position I just brought you up as an option to see if she'd even consider it if she said
02:57no I said no when you brought it up the last time I told you I can't be your surrogate
03:01now you know
03:02she's not opposed to it I can't keep lying to my husband Carter and now you want me to lie
03:07to him
03:08to Daphne and everyone else on top of it you're not lying about the pregnancy Steffi just how it
03:13happened no no Carter I can't I can't
03:34Steffi isn't coming in today at all no I don't think so well we got to get these samples to
03:38her
03:38okay of course you know maybe um you should bring them over there what do you think just leave the
03:46office clear your head a little bit not a bad idea I'm full of good ideas you know what um
03:56you know being able to have a family on your own terms it's got to be really hard and I'm
03:59sorry
04:01thank you part of me wasn't prepared at all do you know I when it fully sank in I panicked
04:09can you imagine I tried to leave Carter I abandoned him the most loving royal husband in the world
04:17he was so upset and disillusioned I still hate to think how I must have struggled to get through
04:24the night we were separated you don't have to tell me how much of her Steffi but I give you
04:30my
04:30word Sheila is out of my life I want to believe you you can I promise Steffi left Monaco because
04:39she couldn't trust your promises no I let her down look we've talked about it a lot and I've made
04:44my
04:44commitment to her and our family crystal clear she understands how sorry you are and what you plan on
04:51doing moving forward but emotionally I think she's still back on that beach we both seen it
04:57you said you've eased her fears but but I'm not sure that you have how else would you explain how
05:03upset she's been since Monaco
05:18you have to see that I can't live this way keeping secrets it's eating away at me
05:26the pregnancy wouldn't be a secret anymore
05:30but it would be there constantly hanging over us threatening everything we cherish
05:38I'm trying to protect what we cherish in this Steffi all this panic this stress it's not healthy
05:46for you or the baby so the sooner you find peace the sooner you see you're doing something wonderful
05:53and not just for me and Daphne but for her child
06:00do you think lying to my husband and my best friend will bring me peace
06:08we'll be making something good out of a terrible situation
06:15you're already pregnant we'd just be pretending it happened in a fertility lab
06:21instead of ending our marriages we'd be we'd be building a beautiful happy new family
06:30you were there Steffi you saw you saw how crushed my wife was when she found out she couldn't
06:39get pregnant you were right there you were there for her that day
06:44so be there for her now
06:49I truly believe this is the most loving solution for everyone
06:54and I know you can do it
06:58I know you can
07:01so say yes
07:15I gotta admit Carter was a mess he was devastated when he thought you were leaving him going back to
07:20Paris
07:21oh my gosh it still kills me
07:24knowing how much pain I caused him
07:26even for one night like one night one terrible decision could have changed our entire relationship
07:35it didn't when you're here
07:36no you know what it did
07:38it made you stronger and that's good because you've got to be strong for this little boy
07:43little girl that's joining you very soon
07:51we both see the change in Steffi
07:54no I'm not denying it
07:55I mean I mentioned it to my mom earlier
07:57I talked about it with Ridge too
07:58he thought it might be work stress
08:00well yeah she's dealing with a lot
08:02she thrives on that kind of challenge
08:05she's an expert problem solver
08:08but as hard as she's tried
08:10Sheila is a problem she hasn't been able to solve
08:13no it's frustrating the way she keeps showing up
08:15she's trying to get a place in your lives
08:16and the idea that you might be willing to
08:18no I am not and I won't
08:20but yeah I know that really shook up Steffi
08:22yeah it made her question everything
08:24the safety of your children
08:26the stability of her marriage
08:30the other day she was trying to tell me what she kept bottled up
08:33but I got an emergency call from the hospital
08:35it's Sheila
08:37it has to be
08:39seeing her worrying that she'll
08:41work her way back into your heart again
08:45unless you can think of another reason
08:46why Steffi has been so upset
08:48since she returned from Monaco
08:53it's crazy right
08:55one drunken night
08:58spiraling
08:58convinced our marriages were over
09:03and because of it now they could be
09:07we turned to each other in anguish
09:11it was a colossal mistake
09:15I'd get bigger by the day
09:16well he never thought anything would come of this
09:20we agreed to put it out of our minds
09:22well
09:24now I'm pregnant
09:27we need to confront what we did
09:32there's still a chance to make this right
09:36Carter we gotta come clean
09:39I gotta be honest with my husband
09:42Daphne deserves that too
09:44I would normally agree
09:45but I see a remarkable opportunity here Steffi
09:48I really do
09:50my wife and I
09:51we want
09:51a child
09:52and she wants you to be our egg donor and surrogate
09:56but that's not what we'd be doing
09:58because I'm already pregnant with your child
10:00no one would know that
10:01I would
10:03for nine long months
10:05I would know that
10:07the truth always comes out
10:10no
10:10I'll take care of it
10:12I'll handle everything
10:13I'll create a paper trail if I have to
10:15you're trying to fix a problem Carter
10:20but you don't know what it's like
10:22to be pregnant
10:27that's true
10:31but I know what guilt feels like
10:35and this will erase all of it Steffi
10:39Steffi
10:39you'll look
10:41at Daphne
10:42and you'll see
10:43that you're giving her something incredible
10:46you'll be giving me and my wife
10:48the greatest gift
10:51a baby
10:55our baby
11:01you want me to carry
11:04my child for nine months
11:08and then just give my child to you
11:14I can't do that
11:16I can't
11:19surrogates are saints
11:21they are but that's not me
11:24this is my child
11:25who's part of me
11:26it's my
11:27my eggs
11:28I mean you know what happened with that
11:31that baby that I adopted
11:33and I had to give up
11:34to Hope and Liam
11:35I can't do that again
11:37that killed me
11:38that really killed me
11:40and you want me to
11:40to do this again
11:42only this time
11:42I'm carrying this child
11:44for nine months
11:45I can't
11:46do that
11:47I can't
11:48I can't
11:51you can
11:53because you love Finn
11:55as much as I love Daphne
11:59you're committed to him
12:00and your family
12:01and you don't want to lose them
12:05Steffi I've seen you survive
12:07the most impossible things
12:09to be with them
12:11you are the strongest person I know
12:16so go to Daphne
12:19tell her you'll do this
12:22tell her
12:23you'll be our donor
12:26and surrogate
12:45she's been so strong
12:47it's
12:48easy to think
12:49there's nothing she can't handle
12:51yeah but she's not alone
12:52in this Taylor
12:53of course not
12:54but you have to admit
12:55the toll that
12:56that Sheila has taken
12:58on my daughter
12:59and your marriage
13:00I mean I'm not
13:00not saying this
13:01to put you on the defensive
13:03no look
13:04we both
13:05love Steffi
13:06and I want to see her happy again
13:08I'm doing everything I can
13:09to make that happen
13:10can you think of anything else
13:12that might be upsetting her
13:15no
13:17then
13:19you agree
13:21Monica is the only thing
13:22that makes sense
13:23she hasn't been herself
13:25she's obviously processing
13:27a traumatic experience
13:28no that's exactly
13:29what it was
13:30but Taylor
13:31this reaction
13:32it was on another level
13:32I really thought
13:33that I lost her
13:36and it tears me up
13:37thinking about her
13:38flying home
13:38alone
13:39with no one to lean on
13:40no one to turn to
13:43I take full responsibility
13:44for that
13:45I feel terrible
13:46for everything
13:47that I've put her through
13:48every question
13:49every doubt
13:50and look
13:50I know it sounds ridiculous
13:51but I really was
13:52just focus
13:53on making our reunion
13:54everything that you
13:55wanted it to be
13:58if only I just told her
13:59about Sheila right away
14:00now you can't change
14:02what happened
14:03Taylor you never have
14:04to question my devotion
14:05to your daughter
14:07I've never
14:08questioned your love
14:09for my daughter
14:10or your dedication
14:11to your marriage
14:13and I know how loyal
14:15and committed you are
14:16to your marriage
14:17just like Steffi
14:18will always be loyal
14:19and committed to you
14:26what I'm keeping
14:27from Finn
14:28is literally
14:29making me sick
14:31I owe him
14:32the truth
14:34Daphne too
