Title: She's my baby, where's your baby?
Rating- PG-13
Summary: Babe finds the courage to tell Bianca about Miranda. After Bianca has Miranda, Babe, Kendall, JR, Adam, David, and the whole town bands together to find baby boy Chandler.
Disclaimer: I do not own All My Children nor it's characters.
AN: Takes place after the week of June 28th-July 2nd. Babe has fully recovered from her drug overdose. I don't know what else to call it, besides JR trying to hurt her.
Bianca and Kendall walked into the Fusion office and Bianca placed the car seat with Miranda inside on the desk.
"Okay so...what do you need from here?"
"I just need to revert all my shares back into Miranda's little tiny fingers."
"I appreciate this but Kendall, she's a little baby, you're a grown woman. She doesn't need all this money yet."
"I know but she deserves this after what her and her mommy have been through."
Bianca nodded then looked around. "Kendall? Aren't Ryan and Greenlee working here today?"
Kendall shrugged. "I don't know, why?"
Bianca nodded. "I'll allow you to be smug but remember, there's a baby present."
Kendall looked at said baby. She was busy staring at the bear Kendall had placed on the bar just fifteen minutes before.
The elevator doors opened and the girls turned to see Ryan and Greenlee.
"Bianca, Kendall, what a surprise! I didn't expect you here." Ryan said.
"Well this was an unplanned trip but then a miracle took place last night." Kendall said.
"Um...why is Bess here?" Greenlee asked spotting the baby.
"That's not Bess, it's Miranda." Kendall corrected.
Greenlee's eyes widened. "Oh my God. David did the DNA test?"
Bianca nodded. "But Krystal has been forcing him to keep the secret. Babe couldn't take it anymore and admitted to us that this was Miranda and she in fact had a baby boy."
"Oh God. How is she?" Ryan asked.
"She's not doing too good but she's a tough girl." Kendall said softly.
"So I guess this means everything goes back to Miranda?" Ryan said.
"Yes but for now I am in charge. You guys can still keep your positions. We'll share everything with you guys."
"What's the catch?" Greenlee asked.
"No catch." Bianca said. Miranda cooed and Bianca went over and tickled her chin. "I didn't think I would be this happy again. It's like the whole world fell into place and...gave me back my life."
Greenlee smiled and Kendall nodded.
"You deserve this, Bianca."
Bianca nodded. "I just wish I knew what happened to that little baby boy. Ryan, do you know if anyone found a body?"
Ryan shook his head. "Not that I know of. Nothing was found."
Bianca looked at Miranda. "Do you know, sweetie? Did you sense something was wrong?"
Miranda looked at Bianca then back at her toy.
"Bianca, she was just born. She wasn't paying attention."
"I know but...I'm not sure if she was awake or asleep when that little one was born. Did she hear him cry? Did she feel someone pick her up? Was she scared? "
Kendall hugged her sister from behind. "She's okay. And wherever that little child is, he is okay."
"I hope so." Bianca smiled and let Miranda squeeze her finger.
Later that day, Bianca and Kendall went to the real estate office with Miranda in her carrier.
"Bianca! It's so good to see you. I heard about your baby, congratulations." The real estate officer shook her hand.
"Oh, thank you. Did my mom call?"
"No someone named...Babe Chandler."
Bianca smiled. "Yes. I came to see if the house I wanted was still up for sale."
"It's yours if you want it."
"I do. It's a gorgeous house and it's perfect for Miranda."
"I'm glad. Now all we need to do is get the papers filed and the house is yours."
"Great. Hear that, Miranda? We're getting our own home."
Miranda cooed and kicked her feet. Bianca sighed softly. "Just looking at her...I want to cry sometimes."
Kendall smiled. "Me too, sis."
They went to the house and Bianca showed Miranda around, who looked around curiously.
"This is a beautiful place huh?"
Kendall smiled. "Hey I'm going to check out the upstairs, okay?"
Bianca nodded and watched her leave. She set the carrier on the floor and sat in front of Miranda.
"Hey. Hi beautiful. Mommy's here. Yeah, I'm right here. I've always been here. I know you must be wondering what's going on. I don't know how to answer that. All I can say is there was another baby born after you came along. Apparently he was the cutest thing on the planet. Then he was taken and you were put in his place. But Auntie Babe did the right thing. Even though it was the hardest thing she ever had to do, she gave you back to me. I don't know where her baby is but I know he's out there somewhere, wondering when he's coming home. If he already has a home, then how do we take him away from the people he knows? But we have to because...if Paul did something then we have to save that precious baby boy. Who knows what is going on with him? I am just so grateful I have you."
Bianca took Miranda out of her seat and held her close in her arms. "Do you know how lucky you are? Your Auntie Kendall loves you more than anything. She has, she loved you even before I realized I was able to love you. Your grandma...it took her a while but I know deep in her heart, she felt something for you. It took her a while to admit it. And me...your mommy, I knew you would come back to me. I just didn't know how long or what it would take to get to this place." Bianca's bottom lip trembled as she started to cry. "I love you so much and I am so afraid I'm going to loose you again. I don't even want anyone but my closest friends and family to touch you. I must be crazy, huh? Don't worry Miranda. I'll protect you."
Kendall walked downstairs. "The upstairs is gorgeous. The main bedroom connects to another bedroom that can be Miranda's room. Bianca, you're crying!"
Bianca shook her head. "Their happy tears. I just...I'm so scared."
"Of what?"
"Everyone. I just don't want anyone to hold her."
"You let me hold her. Mom, Jack, Reggie."
Bianca put Miranda in her car seat and got up. "I'm going for a walk. Are you going to be okay here?"
"Yeah I'll just recruit a few people to help get you and Miss. Miranda moved in."
"What would I do without you?"
Kendall smiled and hugged and kissed her sister before going into the kitchen to make a few calls on her phone.
Bianca left the house and walked around for a bit. She was walking for a while and then stopped when she saw Krystal sitting on one of the benches, talking to herself. She stayed hidden.
"God I know what I did was wrong. I just hope everyone can forgive me. I was just trying to do what I thought was best for Babe and Bess. This has made my daughter miserable. I wish I could bring her baby back but I don't know how."
"Fixing a DNA test won't help." Bianca said showing herself.
Krystal turned and stood when she saw her. "Bianca..."
"Don't say a word. I missed four months with my own child. You could have said something but you didn't. You were only hiding behind your own grief. You couldn't face the fact that when your daughter found out, she would end up grieving. Do you even get what this has done to her?"
"Bianca, I know..."
"Save it, Krystal. The truth would have come out sometime. Too many people know. You, Babe, Paul, David, Kendall, Ryan...how could you have let me go with the pain I have lived with for these past few months? I thought my baby girl was dead. I thought she was lying at the bottom of the river with nothing but a blanket covering her tiny body. But no she was with you. I have been holding her and I didn't realize it. I don't know how I didn't see it when I looked into her eyes. You say you were thinking of Babe but this secret was killing her. She came to me in the pouring rain, crying because she didn't want me to hate her and believe me I wanted to. Every fiber of my being wanted to hate her for what she did to me. For what you took away from me. I know your grieving for that little boy but did you even stop to think there was a chance he could be alive?"
"What are you talking about?"
"He's a liar, Krystal, he's a liar. He told Babe her baby was dead and he told Adam and JR that the baby in that incubator was Babe's when that child was mine. There was a reason he told them that. He did something with that baby boy. Why didn't you bother to find out?"
"I...I never thought about that."
"You didn't? So you were going to let me go on with my pain of loosing my child while she was lying in front of me? There's a chance that baby is out there and you haven't even tried to find him. I don't know what went on while I was passed out but I do know, something else is brewing. I am going to find out. I owe it to Miranda, Babe, myself, and that baby."
Krystal nodded. "Bianca, I know what I did was horrible. I thought I was giving Miranda a better life."
"Oh and not the reality that she's a child of rape? My sister is a child of rape and when she found out, she couldn't take it! Do you know how long it took for her to become the wonderful person that she is? It took a lot of love and trust for that to happen. When she found out I was pregnant, she loved my baby immediately and it didn't matter who she was. What mattered was that she was loved. It didn't matter that we didn't get along yet she just wanted to help me. She wanted me to love her and I do. I love her more than anything. I love my daughter more than anything. I can't forgive you for what you've done and...I don't feel comfortable having Miranda around you."
Krystal let out a deep breath. "I understand. I really do."
"Thank you." Bianca walked off, Miranda in tow.
Erica was eating dinner when she heard a knock. "Coming!" She went to the door and answered. "Kendall, what a surprise, come in."
"Hey. Have you seen Bianca? She went for a walk a couple of hours ago but I can't find her."
"No I haven't. Is she all right?"
"I think so but...ever since Miranda was found, she's been wanting to find out what happened to Babe's child."
"So? I don't think she'd do anything."
"I think she might have gone to find Paul Cramer."
Erica's eyes widened.
