But their conflict was taken to a whole new level with the birth of Jack Marone.
This relationship was already off to a rocky start, as Nick was Brooke’s ex.
Taylor went through in-vitro fertilization and got pregnant, to the couple’s delight.

However, it didn’t last.
This made Jack Nick and Brooke’s biological child instead of Nick and Taylor’s.
Things got even worse when Jack needed a bone marrow transplant.

Unable to cope with the mess she had found herself in, Taylor started drinking again.

They got joint custody of the child, and Taylor did her best to connect with Jack.
She soon became obsessed with Jack and ended up wanting Nick for herself.
When his feelings were not reciprocated, she eventually moved on with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont).
