Thanks for all the feedback and my apologies for getting Llanview spelled
wrong! I always have trouble with that!
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.
AN # 2: I haven't watched OLTL so I don't know those characters well. They'll come in once I watch some more.
After a long day of avoiding phone calls and visiting friends and family, Bianca changed into her pajamas and got Miranda into her PJs. Babe had gone to see her mother and Kendall had gone home after making sure her sister and niece would be all right.
Bianca put Miranda in her rocker and went to the fireplace to start a fire. Once that was finished, she went into the kitchen and heated up a bottle for Miranda. She went back out to the living room and set the bottle down before picking Miranda up and settling her in her arms.
"I bet you're hungry, huh? Yeah. It's almost time for bed and you must be tired. Everyone came by to see you and I bet that ringing phone got on your nerves. Now it's quiet time. Just you, me, and the glowing embers. I love you so much, Miranda. I'm going to protect you with my heart and soul." Bianca kissed the top of her head and rocked gently. "Close your eyes, sleep is more than it seems. Soon you'll discover a garden of dreams. A blossoming tapestry lights up the dark. Dreams are the flowers that bloom in your heart..."
After Miranda was asleep, Bianca took her upstairs and put her in her crib, making sure she wasn't too warm or too cold. She locked the window and left the room, taking one last look. She went downstairs and let the fire die.
The phone rang and she picked it up.
"Hello?"
"I know where the Chandler baby is."
Bianca got a weird look on her face. "Who is this?"
"A friend."
"How do I know this isn't a hoax?" Bianca asked skeptically.
"You'll know. Meet me at the Pine Valley Inn. Bring your sister. I know you are uncomfortable about this."
Bianca sighed. "When?"
"Tomorrow at noon." The man hung up.
Bianca stared at the phone in shock.
Bianca and Kendall walked into the Inn and looked around.
"Okay I don't see him let's go."
"Kendall." Bianca grabbed her arm. "It's fine. We're safe here."
"Bianca, are you sure about this?"
"I'm sure." They sat down at a table and soon a man joined them.
"Ms. Montgomery, Ms. Hart? Todd Manning, this is my fiancée Blair."
"How do you do?" Blair asked shaking Bianca's hand and then Kendall's.
"It's nice to meet you." Bianca said.
They sat down and Todd handed the girls an old newspaper. "I wrote a story about the helicopter crash. Right next to it is a birth announcement."
Bianca skimmed the story about the crash and then moved on to the birth announcement. "Asa Buchanan II was born March 22, 2004. Yeah, it's the same day my friend's baby was born."
"Right. Recently we've found out her cousin's child is not hers nor is he her husband's."
"What do you know?" Kendall asked.
"Not a lot. Just that this baby that you're reading about is not who Kelly says he is."
"Kelly." Bianca said.
Todd pulled out a picture and handed it to Bianca. "Does this baby look familiar?"
Bianca nodded. "Yes I saw him last week sometime after I got my daughter back."
"Congratulations by the way. Where is she?"
"She's at our mothers. So based on this, why did you decide to pursue this?"
"Well Kelly's going a little nuts with the secret and Kevin recently fired me from The Banner so..."
"Oh you're trying to make their lives miserable?" Kendall asked.
"In a way. This is also affecting our daughter so we just want the truth to come out and everything to go back to normal."
"Believe me, so do we. Can we keep this picture?"
"By all means."
"So what do we do? I mean if this baby is Babe's son, how do we go about proving that?"
"By proving that Paul Cramer is a liar. Also since neither Kevin or Kelly have any legal right to this baby, he could be taken away so we need the mother to come and tell them that she wants her baby back. She does, right?"
Bianca nodded. "I hear her crying every night. She misses him. She only got a few precious moments with him like I did with Miranda."
"Okay so...will you help?"
Bianca and Kendall looked at each other.
"We'll try." Kendall said.
"Great. Well we better get going. It was nice meeting you."
Bianca nodded and they left. Bianca looked at her sister.
"Think if we show this to Babe, she'll be able to tell."
"He's her son."
"Miranda's my daughter and I didn't recognize her for four months."
"Okay, I'm sorry. But Bianca, you knew in your heart it was her, didn't you?"
Bianca nodded. "Yeah I did. Come on let's go, I can't stand to be away from her."
Kendall chuckled and they got up and left. They went to the penthouse and knocked. Erica opened and put a finger to her mouth.
"Quiet. She was out like a light as soon as she finished her bottle."
"Ohh." Bianca went to the couch and set her purse down. "Was she good?"
"Very. She's not a fussy child, I'll tell you that. How did it go?" She looked at Kendall.
"Fine. It looks like there's hope after all."
"Do you know for sure though?" Erica looked at Bianca.
Bianca took out a picture and showed it to her mother. "Can you tell?"
Erica examined the photo and sighed. "No, I can't. What are you going to do?"
"We're going to find this baby and prove he belongs to Babe."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"We have to, mother. For Miranda and this sweet little baby who is probably in the wrong home."
Erica looked into Kendall's eyes and had never seen someone look so sure of herself. "I wish you both luck. What are you going to do next?"
"Show Babe this picture. Maybe she'll see something."
"Good luck."
Bianca nodded. "I'm going to get Miranda then we'll be on our way."
Erica smiled. Bianca went into the other room and Kendall looked at her mother.
"I have never seen her so happy."
"I know. Miranda did the cutest thing today."
"Oh?"
"Yes I had her in her car seat facing me while I was on the phone with Jack. I was looking at a picture of Bianca and I turned it around and she took one look at it, smiled and started kicking her feet. She reached for the photo so I held it out towards her and she touched the frame. She looked a bit confused but she had that smile on her face. I swear I melted when I saw that."
"She does that with me too. It's like she's known this whole time."
Bianca walked out with the car seat and Miranda inside. "Well we're ready to go. Mom, thank you so much for everything."
Erica hugged and kissed Bianca. "It was no trouble at all. I'm enjoying this time with Miranda."
Bianca smiled. "We better get going. Bye mom."
"Bye sweetheart. Kendall, you keep an eye on these two."
Kendal chuckled. "Always. We'll keep you updated."
They left and headed to Bianca's house. They got there and saw Babe on the phone. She smiled and told the person she had to go before hanging up.
"That was David calling to check on Bianca and Miranda. Where were you two?"
"Everywhere. Babe we have something to show you." Bianca said.
"What is it?" She looked back and forth between Kendall and Bianca.
Bianca handed the carrier to Kendall and pulled out a picture.
"I want you to look at this picture very closely. Can you do that?"
"Sure." Babe took the photo and looked at it. "Oh...it's the little boy I saw at the hospital a couple of weeks before..." She looked at Bianca. "Why are you showing me this?"
"Just look."
Babe examined the photo and her eyes widened. "Bianca...are you saying..."
Bianca sat beside her friend and took her hand. "Babe, I met this couple from Llanview, Todd and Blair Manning. They told me that they recently found out this baby doesn't belong to Kelly Cramer or her husband, Kevin Buchanan. They don't know who the mother is. He's the same age as Miranda. Babe, this could be your child."
Babe bit her lip and looked at Bianca. "Oh my...I am so sorry. This whole time...this whole time. I am a horrible person."
"Babe, it's all right. I forgive you. But now it's time for this baby to be in his mother's arms."
Babe looked at the picture of this innocent child and looked at Bianca. Tears filled her eyes.
"Bianca..."
"Oh Babe." Bianca hugged her close and let Babe cry softly.
After Babe stopped crying, she sighed. "What's his name?"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Babe looked at her. "Tell me."
"He's named after Asa Buchanan, but they call him Ace."
Babe wrinkled her nose. "Bianca, do me a favor?"
"What?"
"When I get him back, remind me to change his name."
Bianca giggled. "No problem." Bianca hugged her friend tightly.
