With Morgan secretly listening from outside his office, Taylor discusses with Ridge whether Morgan knows what she's doing in trying to have a baby. Taylor suggests that from a psychological standpoint, she feels that Morgan is trying to recreate something from her past. Anxious, Morgan bursts into the office and manages to stop the flow of conversation. Eric and Sally try to calm a worried Amber as they wait for word that C.J. has told Becky about her cancer. Meanwhile, C.J. tries to tell Becky but finds that he can't. When she complains about the pain she's been feeling, he offers to make an "Amber smoothie" for her and pours a few of her pills into the drink. Becky starts talking about seeing her son walk which jolts C.J. into realizing he must tell her now. Before he can, Becky clutches her stomach in response to a terrible pain. He tries to call for an ambulance but she stops him. C.J. assures Becky that he will be there for her no matter what happens and promises to take care of her son forever. Though Becky panics at the way he's talking, she then guesses that he's hinting about marriage. Caught up in the moment, C.J. pops the question.

At Doctor Palmer's office, Morgan is waiting for the doctor as Taylor arrives. Ridge is out parking the car. Taylor is concerned that Morgan will have another episode like last time. Morgan assures her that it will not happen again. Morgan shows Taylor the description of the "donor." Taylor looks at the description and says that he sounds a lot like Ridge.

Ridge arrives in the office shortly and sees the folder labeled "father's details," but Morgan takes it away. Morgan thanks them both for coming, as she knows they think she is making a mistake. Taylor says it isn't that, it's just happened so quickly. The doctor appears shortly to tell Morgan that he is ready for her. Taylor tells her that she does not have to do this. Morgan tells her that she wants to and hugs Taylor and Ridge.

Back at Amber & Becky's: She wants to wait and C.J. says no. He imagines their wedding day...Becky suggest that they get engaged, but C.J. says no. She means more to him than that just a girlfriend. Becky tells him that this was her wish she had made at the wishing well; that they would last forever. C.J. asks, "Say that you will marry me, Becky." With tears in her eyes, Becky says yes, and they kiss as he holds her.

At Stephanie's house, Amber wants to call Becky to see what is happening. She picks up the phone, but Eric takes it away from her. Sally says they know what is happening: a young woman, whom her son loves very much, is being told she is dying. Sally wonders how C.J. will get through it. Amber wonders if something went wrong and thinks she should be there. Stephanie wonders if maybe she is right; if this isn't handled just right, the results could be disastrous. Sally says that Becky is probably telling C.J. to move on without her. Let them enjoy their possible last moment together. Stephanie is concerned but Sally is certain that C.J. is capable of doing this. The love that they share has changed C.J. and made him more mature. When Becky is told the truth has to be done the right way. Amber wonders if Becky will "disappear", Stephanie doesn't believe that will happen as long as they all remember her. Eric comes in with the baby and says they are ready to go. Amber takes the baby, and they leave.

Shortly after, at Amber's apartment, Amber starts telling her how sorry she is. Becky looks confused; she looks up and sees Stephanie, Eric, Sally and Little Eric in the doorway and wonders what is going on...
