1988 (#14) - Margot's pregnancy and doubts about paternity

When Margot begins to feel frequent nausea and a general sense of fatigue, she dismisses it as simple work stress that precedes the weeks before each show. However, the woman, at the suggestion of her friend and colleague Trish Ferris, who urges her to take a pregnancy test, soon discovers, to her amazement and dismay, that she is expecting a baby. Bitterly, Margot is forced to admit to herself that she doesn't know who the father of the child is between Clarke and Storm; and in doubt she decides for now to keep the pregnancy in the dark, also because Clarke, freshly married to Kristen, is certainly not ready to hear such news. But on the very day in which Eric presents to the press his very elegant and magnificent wedding dress that he has decided to give to Kristen, who on this very occasion announces to the press that she has become Mrs. Garrison, Margot discovers that Clarke is the father of the child she is carrying. Informed by Margot of the news after the press conference of Forrester, Clarke is shocked by the words of his lover, and without thinking twice, dismisses the woman stating that he does not want to know anything about the unborn child, not want to be part of his life and, above all, want to ensure that Kristen will never know anything about this matter. Margot, deeply saddened and struck by Clarke's insensitivity, decides to run away in tears, finding herself crying without knowing where to turn or what to do. And the days that lie ahead are even more complicated for Margot, halfway between the joy of becoming a mother and not having a father to share everything with. Everything, as if that were not enough, is made even more unbearable by the first signs of growth of her belly, which does not go unnoticed by the eyes of Stephanie and especially Kristen, who begin to wonder who could be the father of the child. And unaware of how things really are, their suspicions, of course, all fall on Storm.
