If Hope is pregnant where does this go?

If Hope had sex with Tom in Rome, and then she is pregnant and needs a test, how would this go down? You cannot legally divorce in California, if you are pregnant. So Lope would have to stay married until the baby is born. Then how would Tom feel about being a step-dad to 2 Lope kids, knowing that Hope is always going to love Liam? How would Liam feel having Tom as the step-dad to 2 of his kids? And what would make it more interesting is, Liam would be the child's legal father no matter if it was Tom's or not. If Tom's child, Liam would have to sign away his rights. Even with a paternity test, Liam would have to agree to let Tom adopt the child. What if that went down, and Liam said "nope, you are not going to be the babies legal father". LOL. That would mean that Liam would have more rights than Tom to his child, and Tom could not even pull some of the stunts he pulled using Douglas, to control Hope. Liam would have 50% custody of Tom's child and if something happened to Hope, he could cut Tom off completely from the child, if he chose to. California is one of the few states where biology does not trump marriage.

Now I think if Hope is going to be pregnant, Liam will have already gotten one of his quickie divorces before she finds out, but then I wonder, if they would even be legally divorced.

I don't see the issue here.
We already had Liam annulling his marriage to Steffy, when she was very pregnant with his child, soon later gave birth.

Legally Liam or Hope could either get a divorce or annulment. The only issue is if one of them keeps fighting it.
But why would Liam, the man who already had one divorce and 3 annulments, now fight for a marriage when his wife supposedly betrayed him?

Thomas since 2019 knows about Beth and that Lope will always share a daughter - and he still kept wanting and dreaming of a life with Hope.
