Chapter 11
Brand New Day, Same Results
Tuesday March 9 2004
10:30 am
Krystal, Babe, Erica, Adam, and Brooke
Krystal: Now, the doctor said it's not good to get all worked up.
Babe: I'll be ok. Bianca wouldn't want me telling you this, Ms. Kane, but she told me lots of stuff when we were driving before the storm hit. She was pretty upset about -- about what you guys talked about -- your fight and what you said to her. She was really starting to freak out. She felt like she had to make a choice between you, her mother, and her baby.
Erica: A choice between the baby and me?
Babe: Bianca thinks that she has to leave town. She said she's going to take Miranda and she's going to go and she's never going to look back. Please, Ms. Kane, you have to stop her.
Krystal: No, no, honey -- honey, don't worry about that right now. Bianca is just fine, ok? She's right here in her own room, and she's recuperating.
Babe: No -- when she's better, she's going to go.
Krystal: Honey, just don't fret about that.
Babe: Ms. Kane, please, you have to patch things up with Bianca. When she was in labor, we got to talking to keep her mind off the pain. She said that when she was little that you used to like to brush her hair, kind of played with it. And when she was little, she used to think that it was silly, but -- but now she understands. She said that she knows now that every single time that you brushed her hair, you were showing her how much you loved her. And now she wants to do that for Miranda. Oh, Ms. Kane, you don't want to miss out on that.
Krystal: Honey -- honey, just take it easy now. Take it easy.
Babe: Please, you just have to tell her -- just tell Bianca that you love her and her baby. Miranda -- she's so beautiful. Hopefully one day she'll be as beautiful as you are. So please tell Bianca it's ok. Just tell her.
Erica: Babe, you need to rest now. You just need to rest.
Babe: Oh, Mama –
Erica: Oh, excuse me.
Erica runs out of the room; Brooke follows her
Brooke – Erica…
Erica stops and turns around
Brooke: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm -- listen, will you let me know if there's anything I can do to help?
Erica: Oh, yes, if I need platitude, you'll be the first one I call. Wait, I'm sorry. That was incredibly unfair.
Brooke: It's ok, it's -- listen, if you need somebody to kick, I'll gladly volunteer.
Erica: Maybe you're -- maybe you're the only person I can turn to for -- for brutal honesty.
Brooke: You ask me anything you want.
Erica: Bianca is so invested in her baby. She loves that baby so much, and now she may have to deal with -- Brooke, I know that you suffered the loss of a child. I don't want to lose my daughter. I want to be there to be able to help her through this, but I don't know how, because she's furious with me. I -- I have driven her away, and how do I get her back? How -- how do I bring her back close enough to me so that I can comfort her and help her now that she needs me the most?
Brooke: Oh, Erica, what can I say?
Erica: Oh, anything. Anything at all. You might say -- you might just, you know, trigger an idea in me. I don't know. Take cheap shots. Tell me what a rotten mother I am. I mean, I don't even deserve Bianca.
Brooke: Hey, listen -- I have made so many parenting mistakes in my life, I can't even remember all of them.
Erica: You have?
Brooke: You know… mothers are not infallible. I think what we do is that we try to do what we think is best for our children.
Erica: But maybe I did what was best for me. Maybe I just thought of me, and now is Bianca paying for that?
Brooke: Do you want honesty? Because honestly, the thing that I admire about you the most is how deeply you love Bianca. (Erica starts crying softly) Oh, sweetie -- sweetie –
Brooke brings Erica in for a hug
Joe: We just got an emergency call about the crash.
Erica: Oh, God, Joe! Is it the baby? Did they find Bianca's baby?
Back to Babe and Adam and Krystal
Adam – how are you?
Babe – I am fine…but how are Bianca and Miranda? And where's Little Adam?
Adam – Babe…who's Little Adam?
Babe – your grandson…Paul helped me, he delivered JR's son and mine
Adam looks at Krystal
Krystal – baby doll…Paul told us you had a little girl! Are you sure?
Babe – I am 200 sure…I remember, Paul said it's a boy…and I kept calling him Little Adam, then he went to go get the incubators, and I was holding him…Miranda was also in my arms
Adam – you were holding two babies…a boy and a girl!
Babe – yes…where is he, where is my son?
Krystal – baby doll…you were in and out of consciousness
Babe – momma…Paul came back and put them in the incubators, and then he gave me a drug to calm me down, and make me rest! Then I woke up hearing JR calling for me, I was by the river…I don't remember anything that happened in between that…so where is Little Adam, is he with JR…he has JR's beautiful smile, and his eyes are a beautiful Blue like his daddy's
Adam – Babe…your positive about all this, are you sure it wasn't a dream?
Babe – I swear…I can still picture him, and Bianca was unconscious I was looking after Miranda, because Bianca couldn't do it…Miranda looks just like her momma, she has these big brown eyes, and this black hair…and Little Adam has the Chandler jaw line, just like his daddy…
Maggie and Jamie and Amanda
Maggie: Hey.
Jamie: Could this get any worse?
Maggie: Oh, please, don't -- don't say that.
Jamie: How's Bianca?
Maggie: Well, they say that she's going to be fine eventually. She hasn't come to yet, but unless we have some good news for her when she wakes up -- Jamie, have you been to see Babe yet?
Jamie: I was on my way. Why? What happened?
Maggie: Jamie, she's got some infection, and it's bad.
Amanda – how bad?
Maggie – I have no specifics, but you guys should go and see her…
Jamie – thanks Mag…
He hugs Maggie, Amanda and Him go to see Babe. Kendall and JR in the nursery Babies cry
Kendall: You have a very beautiful daughter. Look at her. She's so -- she's so perfect. She's carefree, almost.
J.R.: Yeah. Her life is just beginning.
Kendall: She's very lucky.
J.R.: No, Babe and I are the lucky ones. You know, Kendall, I'm so sorry the way everything's ended.
Kendall: Well, nothing's ended, J.R. It's not over yet.
J.R.: Right…of course. If there's anything I can do for you guys, I'm -- I'm there.
Kendall: I'll pass that along to Bianca.
J.R.: You know, our situations could have been so easily reversed.
Kendall: Yeah. But you know what? Who knows? I mean, maybe -- maybe Miranda and Bess could still grow up to be best friends.
J.R.: Right.
Kendall: Well, how -- God, how is Babe?
J.R.: She's got an infection right now. That's as tough as she is.
Kendall: Well, I'm sure she'll be fine. You'll make sure of that.
Kendall is staring really hard at Miranda, and looks confused; JR notices
J.R.: Yeah. Yeah. Kendall --
Kendall: I'm ok. I'm ok…I'm fine. It's just when I saw Bess for the first time in that incubator by the river --
J.R.: What?
Kendall: When I first looked in her eyes, I saw Bianca.
11:00 am Maggie, Greenlee, Jack, Kendall, Brooke
Greenlee: You go ahead.
Jack: No, no, you -- you stay close, ok?
Greenlee: Ok.
Jack: So what's going on?
Brooke: We're not sure if anything is.
Jack: We're waiting to find out.
Kendall: Why didn't you guys call me?
Maggie: Kendall, we -- we don't know anything yet.
Kendall: Oh.
Erica: A call came in from the searchers, we think.
Maggie: Yeah, but nobody's telling Erica anything
Adam and Krystal walk over to JR in the nursery
JR – hi guys…what's wrong?
Krystal – Babe woke up!
JR – really…that's good to here
Adam – son…do you trust Paul Cramer?
JR – not at all…why?
Krystal – we have to tell you something!
JR – and I need to tell you guys something!
Adam – all right…go ahead!
JR – this baby girl…doesn't resemble Babe and I in any way…Kendall said when she first looked in to her eyes, she saw Bianca…I've been looking in to her eyes, and I am starting to see what she means!
Adam – Babe kept asking for Little Adam…
JR looks at his father
JR – she was looking for Little Adam, our son was going to be named Adam Nicholas Chandler 3
Krystal – she told us, that she held on to her baby boy, and Miranda while Paul went to go get the incubators
JR – so this means…that Bess is actually Miranda, which means my child is the one who's missing
Krystal – there's more…when Paul came back, he drugged Babe, he told her it's to help her relax, and get some rest…she's been asking about little Adam
JR – that son of a bitch, drugged my wife…and now he disappears with my son; I refuse to believe he is dead!
Krystal – we need to take a DNA test, we need to talk to Tad and get his help, if my grandbaby isn't at the bottom of the river, then he's alive somewhere and Paul knows where…
Adam – I am going to kill him
JR – I'll help!
Krystal - I want in…
JR – (Ann walks in to the room) Ann could you please keep an eye on this little girl, I have to go see my wife…and don't let her out of your sight
Ann – yes sir Mr. Chandler, I promise
JR, Adam, and Krystal walk outside, they see everyone in front of Bianca's room; they walk over to them; Tad and Ryan are walking up to them holding something
Jack: Hey.
Erica: What is that, Ryan?
Tad: It's a portable incubator. They found it about 10 miles south of the crash site.
Joe: It's one of ours, from the helicopter.
Erica: Are you saying --
Tad: They pulled it out of the river.
Kendall: No, that -- that doesn't mean --
Ryan: The rescue squad has changed the search status to recovery.
Kendall: Instead of rescue.
Ryan: They -- they said that the baby could never have survived that river.
JR looks at Krystal and Adam; JR runs over to his wife's room; Krystal and Adam follow him; Lena runs out to the group
Lena: She's awake. Bianca's awake.
Jamie and Amanda walk in to Babe's room; she is awake and trying to get out of bed
Jamie: Babe?
Amanda – honey…where are you going?
Jamie: Babe, do you want me to get the doctor? Should I get J.R.?
JR, Krystal, and Adam walk in
JR – honey…stop! (He runs up to his wife) please lie down
Babe gasps
Babe: honey…where's are baby?
JR – Babe I am serious, you can't fight me on this!
Babe lies back in bed: Tad walks in
JR – babe…I need you to tell me everything, I need you to tell me what happened after you gave birth to when I found you!
Babe – I went to a cabin and I tried calling you, it didn't work I called the hospital and I heard Paul in that background and I jumped on to trying to find someone I know who could come and help me, so I asked for Paul, I told him that I needed his help…I didn't think to call Joe because I had to much things happening all at once. I am so sorry JR!
JR – its okay baby, I am not angry with you…but this is important!
Babe – after I called you, then Paul, then you again I got through to the house, but I tripped and severed the cord, and the phone hung up…I had a contraction and I went back to Bianca, who had fallen unconscious, Miranda was asleep…then my contractions started getting closer, and I started signing the bottles of beer song, and Paul came in to the cabin…he asked me if I know what were having and I told him no, then he asked if I have names picked out, I told him what they were, and then I started pushing, and he said "Look, Babe, he's here! He's here! Your boy is here, Babe. Your boy is here." And I said "it's a boy…oh my sweet darling peanut, your daddy is going to be so happy when I bring you home" Paul looks at him, and I keep asking "what's wrong with him, what's wrong with Little Adam" I kept asking if he was okay, and Paul said "yeah…yes he's perfect!" and I said "oh thank god, he's the best…so little and precious!" he said "Your baby boy, Mom." And he handed him to me And I said "Look at you…you're the most beautiful baby in the entire world…Adam Nicholas Chandler 3" then he asked about Bianca and then he said he was going to be back, he said he was going to get incubators for Miranda and Little Adam and call the hospital, 5 minutes later he comes back wants to put Little Adam in it, then I ask him why we need to put Little Adam, in there. He said to keep him warm and safe, while we fly. Then I told him that's what I am for, Bianca would want it that way, then Paul says Bianca would want Miranda safe…then I told him so do I, then I said "But I've never been away from my little dreamboat. Well be okay, I promise! Don't you worry your cute little head off…so will Miranda, the woman one day you'll marry! Just like Bianca and I promised!" Little Adam cries and I say "Oh, honey. Oh, I'll miss him so much. Don't you worry, my precious little boy! Mama's going to fly high in the sky with you, straight home to Daddy. Mamas aren't supposed to be away from their babies. It just isn't natural." Then we went to the helicopter, and he starts putting Miranda in there, and I say "why? Are you doing that Miranda isn't a preemie like Little Adam" he tells me for safety purposes and to relax, I said okay, don't listen to me you know what your doing…and he said "Well, It's my job to help people get what they need." I asked about Bianca again, he said she need to get to PVH, and then I said take care of her Miranda needs her mommy, and Paul said "Well, every baby needs a good mom." Then I started talking about Miranda, and Paul told me to keep quiet and relax, and he was holding a needle…I asked him what that was, and he said it was "Babe, you just gave birth in a cabin. It's not exactly sanitary. This will help." And he gave it to me, I felt kind of funny…I said I don't think it worked Paul, maybe the medicine was bad…he told me "your dehydrated and exhausted…Rest a while" and I said okay, and I told Little Adam and Miranda, were going home…home to your daddy, and grand momma's and I passed out!
JR looks angry and upset, Adam looks at Babe…and is shaking his head that she remembered all of that! Krystal and JR are on each side of Babe and holding her hand, Amanda has tears in her eyes, as does Krystal, Jamie looks at Tad…like there saying things to each other, through telepathy.
JR – baby, I am so sorry I wasn't there…
Babe – I know, but I am fine, and Bianca will be fine also…and we have our son and Miranda's okay also!
JR – Babe…when I found you, and I found out you had our baby…there was a problem!
Babe – what!
JR – there was only one child…and that child was a little girl! That child was Miranda, the chopper crashed and Paul said one of the incubators got thrown from the plane, he said it fell in the river. But then after everyone started threatening him, he said that Miranda was our child, for the past 25 minutes I've been with her, and I been looking at her…and I think that child is really Miranda, she has Black hair and big brown eyes, my father said that those things usually don't change till they get a bit older. Do you remember what he looked like?
Babe has tears coming out of her eyes
Babe – no…no please JR, I've been through so much! No…I can't handle this! Please tell me your lying
JR has tears coming out of his eyes
JR – baby…I am so sorry, I wish I could tell you I'm lying…but I've never lied to you
Babe is silent and she starts shaking
JR – I am so sorry baby…but we have to believe we'll get him back (he holds on to his crying wife) know please tell me about our son…It's important!
Babe calms down a little and starts talking
Babe – he had fair skin like me, he had big blue eyes like you, and the chandler jaw…he had light blonde hair and a nose like mine, when he smiled it lit up the entire world. (Babe still has tears falling out of her eyes)
JR – Paul drugged you for a reason!
Tad – the incubator was empty, which means there's a chance the child was never thrown in to the river
Amanda – honey…don't worry! We will find your Little Boy, and were not giving up till he's found!
Jamie – we'll search everywhere…were not going to stop looking
JR – baby, you need to rest…you still have an infection!
11:30 am Back to Bianca, Kendall, Maggie, Erica, Lena and Ryan
Lena: Kendall, Erica, Bianca's awake. Why won't somebody -- what's that?
Ryan: It's an incubator. It was for the baby. She was in it, to protect her when she was in the helicopter.
Lena: So, wheres --
Kendall: Bianca's baby is dead. Miranda – Miranda's dead.
Lena: Bianca's awake. She'll want her baby. She -- she'll be asking --
Kendall: Stop, stop.
Erica: Kendall --
Kendall: No, no. She can't hear if from you. She has to hear it from me.
Bianca: Miranda.
Kendall: Well, look who's back.
Bianca: Back?
Kendall: Yeah. You were MIA for a while there. We missed you.
Bianca: Oh. We're back. Babe got us home. She said she would, and she did.
Kendall: Yeah, Babe did a great job. So did a few other people. A lot of people were worried about you two. You should've seen it.
Bianca: Has it been that long?
Kendall: It's been too long. But it was pretty impressive -- David and Adam working together, David and Tad. Hell, David and anyone is practically a miracle, all due to you.
Bianca: Oh, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have run off like that. I feel so cottony.
Kendall: That's the anesthesia wearing off. Bianca, you had surgery.
Bianca: What? Why?
Kendall: Well, we'll get to that, we'll get to that. But you do need to know that you're doing a great job. You're going to be fine. The doctors gave me the whole rundown, and you are going to be just fine. You lost a lot of blood. And after you delivered, there was too much bleeding, and that's why you got weak and passed out. So they took care of it in surgery.
Bianca: Oh. Oh, the delivery. Oh, my God, Kendall, it was crazy. Babe and I drove off, and there was this storm. There was water everywhere, and then my water broke. I went into labor without my coach. I was so scared. It hurt so much.
Kendall: Bianca, it's over now.
Bianca: And it really is true. You really do forget all about the pain when it's done. Well, maybe not all of it.
Kendall: Binks, I – (she starts crying)
Bianca: Oh, no, Kendall, don't be sad. It was worth it, honestly. Because everything turned out just fine.
Erica and Jack talking
Erica: Jack, I never should have let Kendall have to bear the burden of telling Bianca by herself.
Jack: Erica, listen to me. I know how much you love Bianca, and I know how badly you want to spare her this, but Kendall's right. You cannot be the one to tell her about Miranda. It would stand between the two of you for the rest of your lives. You see that, don't you?
Joe: Erica, can I get you anything?
Pager beeps
Joe: I have to get this, but I'll be back for you and for Bianca.
Brooke: Take me home, Adam. We shouldn't even be here. Grief is too private for an audience. Let's go.
Adam: Erica, if there's anything we can do --
Brooke: Or anything we can do for Bianca --
Erica: Oh, thank you. Thank you both.
Tad and Krystal outside Babe's room
Krystal: I've been praying like crazy these last couple of days, asking God to help and protect those girls. And I know there's a lot we never understand. Why is Babe being punished by that sick son of a bitch, and know Bianca is going to find out Miranda is dead, when she isn't…but we still don't have bona fide proof.
Tad – and I knew that little snot was lying; I gave him a chance to fess up. I have to get proof; I have to find my grandson! This sick little game Cramer is playing is going to end…right now!
Krystal – you do what you have to do, I am going to go back to Babe
Tad – okay, I'll keep in touch
Krystal – I love you!
Tad – I love you too
They kiss and Tad walks away; he pulls out his cell phone and calls Aidan; Krystal walks in to Babe's room, JR is sitting on the bed with her, Amanda is on the other side Babe's head is on Amanda's shoulder, She's holding JR and Amanda's hands, Jamie is in front of her also on the bed.
Krystal – hi honey…
Babe – momma, am I being punished for everything I've done all my life?
Krystal – no baby doll…Paul Cramer is the problem, he's a sad little man…
JR - who deserves to have his head served on a platter to his family!
Krystal – Junior, we can't kill him yet! We need to find Little Adam first
JR – this really sucks, after all you've gone through…you don't deserve this! None of us do…
Jamie – don't worry Bro, I have faith this will end well…and I have faith it will end soon!
JR smiles a faint smile
JR – your right…I won't allow myself to think the worst, I refuse to believe anything different
Back to Bianca and Kendall
Bianca: You don't know her that well yet, Kendall, but trust me, Babe is amazing. Check me out. How lucky am I to have such women in my life? She was strong and brave, and then she was funny and sweet like you. And the labor -- oh, my God, it was brutal. Like you have no idea how brutal. I was one big hurt. And I thought it would never end. But then it did end. And there she was -- Miranda. So perfect, so beautiful. And for some reason, God let her be mine. I am so lucky and so proud. You'll know what I mean when you see her, Kendall. Or have you seen her? Have you seen Miranda?
Bianca: You've been here with me the whole time, haven't you? Well, you just wait till you see her, Kendall. You know that picture that you have in your head? So perfect that real life could never measure up? That's Miranda. Too amazing for words. And the love -- the love is more than you expect, too. Even when I drifted off, I was thinking of her. And I know that she just got here, but I feel like she's the other part of me, my soul. I held her. I sang to her, Kendall. I even nursed her. And then I knew.
Kendall: What -- what did you know?
Bianca: That this is what I've been waiting for my whole life. This is why I was born -- to be Miranda's mommy. That's who I am.
Maggie, Reggie, Greenlee outside of Bianca's room
Maggie: Bianca used to squeak when the baby kicked. I'd run over and she'd let me feel it. It was incredible. Being pregnant was perfect, and now it's over. It can't just be over.
Reggie: This is so wrong.
Greenlee: You're right. It is.
Bianca and Kendall
Bianca: You'll see what I mean about Miranda soon. When will they bring her to me? When can I see my baby?
Kendall: I'm so glad that you're doing better. But a lot has happened since the delivery. Do you remember the helicopter?
Bianca: Is that how we got to the hospital?
Kendall: Yes. A MedEvac pilot came to get the two of you, and he got there just in time to help Babe give birth.
Bianca: Oh, my God. Babe had her baby, too? That's amazing. Well, so, Kendall, tell me.
Kendall: Tell you what?
Bianca: Come on, Kendall, does Miranda have a little boyfriend or a little girlfriend?
Kendall: It's a girl.
Baby cries
Bianca: Babe and I both have girls. I love it. Wasn't it too soon for Babe, though? Is -- is the baby ok?
Kendall: She's fine. She's perfect, actually.
Bianca: Thank God.
Kendall: After the baby was born, the pilot took you and the babies in the helicopter. You were losing a lot of blood, so they -- they wanted to get you here right away.
Bianca: Did you talk to him? The pilot?
Kendall: Uh -- no, no. Why?
Bianca: Well, so I know whom to thank. You said David and Adam and Tad, right?
Kendall: No, no, Bianca, wait, Bianca, wait, ok? Wait, there's more. There was a problem that -- they're not really sure what happened, but -- but there was a problem with the helicopter.
Bianca: What kind of problem?
Kendall: It crashed, Bianca.
Bianca: Oh, my God. Tell me Babe is ok.
Kendall: She's here. She's here in the hospital. The doctors are treating her.
Bianca: Kendall, after everything that Babe did for me – for my baby and me -- she needs to be ok.
Kendall: She will be. She's going to be just fine.
Bianca: Thank God. Babe is so strong. Kendall, Miranda's ok, right? Kendall, answer me. Was Miranda hurt? (Kendall starts crying) You have to -- you have to take me to her. If Miranda was hurt, then she needs me. She needs her mother. You have to take me to her. You have to take me to her. Kendall, Kendall --
Kendall: No, no, Bianca --
Bianca: Kendall, Kendall, you need --
Kendall: No, Bianca, I can't. I can't take you to her.
Bianca: What?
Kendall: Ok?
Bianca: Kendall --
Kendall: No, listen to me. Listen. Bianca, Miranda is gone. She's gone. She's never going to be hurt -- never going to be hurt or scared ever again, ok? She's with Mona now. She's warm and she's safe in Mona's arms.
Bianca: No! No! No!
Bianca shakes her head in confusion; Kendall grabs her hand; Back to Reggie, Maggie, David, Lena, Erica, and Ryan
Reggie: No. Hell, no.
Lena: Come on, we can't stop now. We got this far. We have to get Bianca through this.
Maggie: How? We can't give her back her baby. If we can't do that, then we're useless. We're absolutely hopeless.
Reggie – we can't give up
Maggie: Do something. Do something to help Bianca.
Erica – come on David you're a doctor! You know how to help her…
Lena -why did this happen to Bianca? She doesn't deserve this!
David: How? I don't have any answers, Erica. I don't know how. I don't know why. But somehow, some way, you got exactly what you were hoping for. Tell me how it feels.
Ryan: You get the hell away from her, you sick son of a bitch.
David: Really, Erica, tell me. I would love to know.
Kendall and Bianca
Bianca: No. No, no. No. No. Kendall, no. No, I don't -- I don't know who told you that, but it's not true.
Kendall: Bianca, listen to me --
Bianca: No, no, no, no, no. She was here. She was with me, she was inside me. She can't just be gone.
Kendall: No, please, please, Bianca. I'm so sorry.
Bianca: No. No, no, no. No, don't tell me that you're sorry. Just tell me where my baby is.
Kendall: She's with Mona now --
Bianca: No! Kendall, stop it, ok? Stop it. Grandma is -- ok, Miranda is not with -- she's not with Grandma. It's not possible. Ok, you -- you weren't there. You don't know what I told her, Kendall. You -- see, I told her that -- that -- that I would always love her and I would always keep her safe, ok?
Kendall: Ok.
Bianca: I told her that I would never walk away, and I'm not -- you can't make me walk -- you can't make me walk away from her now!
Kendall: Ok, listen to me -- listen, there is nothing that you could do about that crash, ok? There was no way you could stop it!
Bianca: Stop, stop, stop talking about the crash. Don't talk about the crash, ok? Babe made it, Babe's child made it. I made it, we all made it.
Kendall: Yes.
Bianca: I promised, Kendall. I promised.
Kendall: Yes, yes, and Miranda heard you. She heard you, Bianca. I know she did. She did. You did, you did love her and you did protect her. You did everything a good mother could do.
Bianca: Ok, ok --
Kendall: You did, you did!
Bianca: Stop it, stop it!
Kendall: You did.
Bianca: Stop it, stop it! Ok, just stop talking now. Just tell me -- just tell me where Miranda is. Just tell me where my baby is.
Kendall: I would if I could.
Bianca: Ok, ok, all right, all right, all right. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Just go and just bring me my baby. Just -- just bring me my baby.
Kendall: I can't.
Bianca: No, no, no. Just bring -- just bring her to me.
Kendall: I would, Bianca. I would if I could, but I can't.
Bianca: Then do it!
Kendall: I can't!
Bianca: Just -- then just do it! Just go out and just bring her to me now!
Kendall: I can't! Don't you understand me? I would do anything if I could give her back to you, I would! I would, but I can't.
Bianca: Miranda! Miranda! Miranda!
Unable to stand looking at the mangled portable incubator one more second, Jack takes it out to the trash while Greenlee sadly watches
Bianca: It was just a mistake. It's just a mistake, I promise. I promise, Kendall -- Kendall, I won't get mad at you. You just -- you have to tell me where my baby is!
Kendall: Bianca, I -- Bianca, I can't -- no, no. No, stay here, Bianca. Stay here. You stay here.
Bianca: No!
Kendall: You've got to stay here, please, please.
Bianca: No, no, no, you don't understand!
Kendall: Bianca, please stay.
Bianca: Kendall, I don't exist without her. I don't, I don't. I don't. Look at me. I'm here. Look at me. I'm still here. I'm still here.
Kendall: No --
Bianca: So Miranda can't be gone.
Kendall: No.
Bianca: No, she -- she --
Bianca hyperventilates
Bianca: No -- Miranda! Miranda!
Kendall: Stay here.
Bianca: Miranda! Oh, God, no, no, no! No, no!
Kendall: Shh, shh, shh --
Bianca: Oh, God!
Kendall: Shh, shh!
12:30 pm Paul and Kelly in Llanview; There is a house call Doctor looking at Little Adam
Kelly: He had another mother once, someone who gave birth to him. I just can't imagine she would do all that and then want to give him up.
Paul: Kelly, look, she gave birth to him, but she was never his mom. I mean, you have to love a child to be a mom.
Baby squeals
Kelly: Shh. Maybe she regrets her decision. Or the father -- what about the father?
Paul: Please, she doesn't even know who the father is. I mean, that's the kind of woman that she is. She doesn't deserve him.
Kelly: She made a choice.
Paul: Kelly, that little boy is very lucky to have you.
Kelly: No, I'm the lucky one.
Paul: Well, then prove it. Forget about the birth mother. Look at him. I mean, he's forgotten. You're the only mother that he'll ever know, and Kevin is the father.
Kelly: Kevin's the father.
Paul: Kelly, this is what you have prayed for -- a Buchanan child to make you a family. You'll never have to worry about your marriage again. Trust me -- this baby was meant for you.
Erica and Ryan
Erica: Bianca is my soul. No lie, no secret, nothing could ever change that. And Kendall -- Kendall, I love now no matter how different we are.
Ryan: Or how alike.
Erica: Never -- never in my darkest thoughts did I ever wish this on Bianca. Every slap she's ever felt, I felt the sting -- every wound. To wish this grief on her?
Ryan: That's not you, Erica.
Erica: I only ever wanted to protect her, to protect both of them. You see that, don't you?
Ryan: Erica, I know how much you love them, and they send that love back to you a thousand crazy ways.
Erica: Maybe -- maybe in the past, but not -- not now, not with all this.
Ryan: Love isn't always pretty. It can be really messy, but it's still love. Just like the way you wanted to protect them, they wanted to protect you. That's why they didn't -- they kept the secret from you about the baby.
Erica: But I'm their mother, and they -- they should've --
Ryan: It's love. It's love, pure and not so simple. You need to believe that, Erica. They love you just as much as you love them.
Bianca and Kendall
Kendall: Shh, shh.
1:00 pm Erica walks into Bianca's room as Kendall holds her hysterical sister
Erica: Bianca --
Bianca: Don't! Don't say it. Don't even dare.
Erica: Bianca, I know you feel you're beyond comfort.
Bianca: Is that why you're here -- to comfort me?
Erica: Yes. If I can, if you let me. I am so very, very sorry.
Bianca: What are you sorry for? Are you sorry that my baby died? Is that what you're telling me?
Erica: Yes. I was frantic with worry. And after the last time we saw each other and we said such terrible things to each other --
Bianca: We said such terrible things?
Erica: I said such terrible things to you. And to you, Kendall. I was horribly unfair, and I so apologize.
Kendall – I can't handle this, I need to get out of here
Bianca – go ahead, I need to talk to Erica alone
Kendall – I love you, I'll be back to see you later!
Bianca – okay, I love you!
Kendall leaves and goes to her condo
Bianca: So you take it all back. You are amazing, mother. You come in here from where? Did you stop by the chapel? Did you light a candle and show god how much you're suffering?
Erica: I did light a candle, yes.
Bianca: How many?
Erica: Excuse me?
Bianca: How many candles? One for me? One for my sister? One for my baby? I want you to tell me how many. I want a number.
Erica: I prayed to God to watch over you, honey, and to love you the way I love you.
Bianca: But you could only really manage one prayer, one candle, right?
Erica: I know how much you've suffered, and I -- I know you're not yourself.
Bianca: Oh. I know who I am now, and I can finally see who you are.
Erica: I'm your mom.
Bianca: Oh, don't you dare try some Mother-of-the-Year speech now.
Erica: I love you so very much, more than life, more than anything in the world.
Bianca: Of all the lies, that's the worst.
Erica: No --
Bianca: Yes. Yes, you're a liar, mother -- an unforgivable liar.
Erica: I don't blame you for lashing out at me. But I am not lying to you.
Bianca: You're lying now. You're lying about lying.
Erica: How am I doing that?
Bianca: You come in here and you tell me how sorry you are that I lost my baby, but you're not sorry. Privately, you want to plan a party. You are thrilled that my baby is gone.
Erica: Bianca, that is not true.
Bianca: It is true. From the second that you found out I was pregnant, you wanted my baby gone and forgotten, and now look -- the legacy of rape is over. The shame of your daughter carrying her rapist's baby is gone, and all it took was a flash flood and a helicopter crash, and your deepest wish came true.
Erica: No, Bianca, you couldn't be more wrong. I never wished that.
Bianca: Liar! When I left you the other night, there was no way that you were ever going to accept my baby. I tried to reason with you, and you wouldn't even listen to me. You put a curse on my baby. And now, with Miranda out of the picture, you're all about comfort and apologies. Where's the itinerary?
Erica: The what?
Bianca: The -- the itinerary. Well, don't tell me that you haven't booked the cruise. The island getaway? You, me, and Kendall? Nothing like a month of tanning in the tropics to fill in the stretch marks. We'll forget all about pesky babies and the sacrifices they require. We'll forget what I did for love and what you did for pain. And we'll race to see who can get on with their lives first. And if you ever catch me looking sad or far away, you'll take my hand, and you'll tell me once again how sorry you are. But deep down, you'll be sighing with relief, if not jumping for joy.
Erica: Bianca, you couldn't be more wrong. I would never wish any harm to an innocent child.
Bianca: But my baby wasn't innocent. She was the product of rape.
Erica: Honey, of course your baby was innocent. And I wouldn't wish harm to a hair on her head. I never would wish her -- her dead.
Bianca: But you did. You did the day that I went to the clinic for the abortion!
Erica: Bianca, that is not the same thing. I have only ever wanted what's best for you, and I have made mistakes. I have made many
Mistakes. I know that. But please believe me when I say that they were done in the name of love. And no matter what else you believe, please understand that I would never wish this agony on you. I would throw myself in that river if I could have spared you this pain.
Jack looking at Bianca, and Erica through the window of Bianca's roomLt. Perry: Jack, I need a word.
Jack: Well, Lieutenant Perry, I guess I don't have to ask why you're here. You've found the body of my niece's baby.
Jack: I don't want to hear any excuses. There's a baby out there, Perry.
Lt. Perry: And we've busted our hump to find her. But we can't send more men out, and those who are on the scene are exhausted. The recovery effort's been called off. I'm sorry, Jack.
Jack: Bianca, Erica, Kendall -- God. How do we get through with it like this? How do you let go of a baby that's lost? How do you say goodbye to an empty grave?
Tad: First, it doesn't even seem real. And if it did, it'd probably kill you. And then you just sort of start to get used to living with the impossible. The pain never goes away. Wake up in the morning, go to bed at night, it's still there, but eventually, you get to the point where you can start to function. You'll get up in the morning, you'll get dressed, you go to work. You might even be able to answer people when they talk to you. And then sooner or later, you can sleep soundly through the night without waking up in a cold sweat, calling her name.
Jack: You're talking about Dixie.
Tad: Yeah. And her baby. Want to find a bar and get hammered?
Jack: No, I got to go see Bianca, but listen to me -- I want to thank you for opening up an old wound for my sake.
Tad: It's nothing. I just wish I could do something to heal a new one. That's the problem, my friend -- this is a dance you got to do by yourself.
It's 1:10 pm, Kendall is in her bedroom crying for her lost niece; someone puts his or her hand on Kendall's shoulder; She turns around
Kendall: Why are you here?
Ryan: You shouldn't have to go through this alone. I want to take care of you
Kendall: I don't have the energy to fight you.
Ryan walks in to her bathroom and turns on the shower; he walks over to Kendall
Ryan: Well, then don't. There you go.
Shower runs
Ryan: It's nice and warm.
Kendall – I can't…I need to be there for Bianca
Ryan – your not leaving this condo, till you take a shower…because you look like hell, and eat something, because I know you haven't eaten in 5 days!
Kendall – I did eat, with Maggie!
Ryan – you may have fooled everyone, but I know you too well…you didn't eat!
Kendall – I can't
Ryan – you have too
Kendall – you no longer can force me to do things…you lost that right when you got involved with Greenlee
Ryan – there is no me and Greenlee, and I may have lost the right…but I still know you and I still worry about you!
Kendall – well stop worrying about me!
Ryan – I can't…I care about you too much
Kendall looks in to Ryan's medium dark blue eyes
Kendall – fine!
Kendall goes in to the bathroom and closes the door halfway; she takes a shower 20 minutes later, she walks out in her blue robe
Ryan: Kendall? You should eat.
Kendall: No -- You stayed.
Ryan: of course…I told you I want to take care of you
Kendall – I need to get dressed!
Ryan – and I need you to eat, I have your favorite meal in the kitchen
Kendall closes her bedroom door and gets dressed in jeans and a t-shirt; at the hospital Paul shows his face; he at the nursery door; Adam walks up to Tad and Aidan they hand him a tape recorder, Adam presses record and walks up to Paul.
Adam: I don't know what the hell you're doing here, but you stay away from that baby girl.
Paul: I was worried. I mean, is everything ok with the baby?
Adam: Doesn't she look ok?
Paul: Well, yeah, she looks beautiful.
Adam: Yeah, healthy, strong.
Paul: So how's the new mom? I mean, she must be thrilled.
Adam: Why are you asking?
Paul: I don't know. I guess it's a sense of responsibility. I mean…Babe was in my care for a while.
Adam: I think there's something more to it than that -- all these questions. You seem nervous, flyboy. Well, relax. My grandchild is alive and healthy, Babe is getting stronger…right now she is taking a nap, and they had to give a sedative to sleep, because of the infection.
Paul: Oh… that's too bad, I am glad she's resting though! And I am glad your granddaughter is alive and well.
Adam: Well, you've seen the child…I think you should get out of her, If the Erica Kane finds you…It will not be pretty!
Paul: your right…
Paul walks away and goes to Babe's room; He walks in to the room; Adam turns off the recorder and Aidan follows Paul
Paul: Babe? Babe? Even when you're totally wiped out, you still make my life hell. Don't tank this for me, Babe. You got exactly what you wanted -- a baby. So when you wake up, you hold that baby, and you don't go blabbing that you had a boy or that this isn't your kid. That won't be good for you, for me, and that little boy who already loves his new mama. So you get this through to your cotton candy head -- you had a girl. You had a girl. I think the drug I am about to give you, will help you forgot everything…Paul gets a needle out of his coat pocket, he holds it up! Aidan grabs it from him
Aidan – sorry Paul, can't let you do that!
Paul – who the hell are you?
Aidan – your lucky charm…I am the man who will not turn you in to the authorities, if you leave right know and never come back!
Paul – and am I supposed to believe you want to help me?
Aidan – yes…because I am trying to bring the Chandlers down, and you being here is affecting my plains!
Paul- why…what'd the Chandlers do to you?
Aidan – they killed my wife…two years ago today
Paul – oh!
Aidan – now…you don't want them to find out, that Babe actually had a little boy…do you?
Paul – you were eavesdropping?
Aidan – no, I just walked in at the right moment
Paul – so you're going to destroy the Chandlers…how?
Aidan – I don't have to tell you anything…so get the hell out of this room and hospital! Before I bring you down with them…
Paul walks out of the room; he walks out the door…and gets in his car; he goes to see Kelly; Aidan turns off the tape recorder, and Tad and Adam walk in smiling
Tad – you're a good liar…
Adam – brilliant performance
Aidan – thank-you, Paul Cramer is a gullible idiot…I can't believe he bought it
Adam and Tad laugh; In Llanview Paul walks in to Kelly's house; Kelly is on the sofa with Little AdamPaul – Hi sis…hi nephew
Kelly looks up at Paul
Kelly – hi…oh Paul, I can't thank-you enough!
Paul – you're my sister, I would do anything for you!
Kelly smiles
Paul: So, is Kevin excited about his new baby boy?
Kelly: Oh, he's ecstatic. He was born to be a father. They've already bonded. Yes, they have.
Paul: Well, that's great.
Kelly: He's so perfect. I still can't believe his mother would give him up.
Paul: Well, she couldn't deal with it. I mean, you did her a favor.
Kelly: Now I need you to do me one. I need to know more about Ace's biological parents.
Paul: No, Kelly. No, you don't, all right? They dumped him. They are out of the picture, so let's keep it that way.
Kelly: Well, that's just fine with me, but it may not be for him. No, Paul, I want to do this right. I mean, what if he gets sick? I need to know about their medical histories. It's important.
Paul: We will deal with that when the time comes. I mean, stop worrying.
Kelly: What if it's an emergency? What if there's no time?
Paul: Kelly, why do you keep going on about this? Digging up medical files is very tricky.
Kelly: Yeah, well, me giving birth to a bouncing baby boy has been tricky, but you helped me with that. Now I need you to help me with this. Paul, it's important.
Paul: I'm not making any promises.
3:10 pm Tad, Adam, and Aidan still in Babe's room; Babe is still asleep
Tad – So at least we know, our grandson is alive and well…and that he is being raised by another woman
Adam – I can't believe he was going to drug Babe again, poor girl! She's been through so much, and she still can't get a break!
Aidan – she'll get her break when Paul is locked up for the rest of his life, and Babe and JR have their son!
Babe stirs awake, she looks up at Adam, Tad, and Aidan with half open eyes
Babe – what's going on?
JR opens the door and sees everyone
JR – hi…what's going on?
JR walks over to Babe's side, and crawls inbeside her
Adam – we were just going to tell Babe some good news…
Aidan – Paul came to visit you…he opened his mouth and stuck his foot in it, he said that another woman is raising your baby.
Adam – and he tried to drug you again, but Aidan stopped him…he was going to give you something so that you would forget that you had a little boy, he didn't want his plan getting blown out of the water. We all got it on tape! Babe I swear to you…We will get him back, and when I get my hands around Cramer's neck I will choke the life out of him, for doing this to the people I love.
JR – thank-you Aidan, I really appreciate it…you saving Babe
Aidan – it wasn't a problem…I am glad I just came here when I did
JR – can I go kill him now?
Adam – not yet! We need to find Little Adam first
Tad- then we'll all dismantle Paul Cramer…
JR – fine…
Babe – I feel so close…but yet I am so far!
JR – don't worry baby, everything is going to be great. Little Adam will be in our arms in no time!
Tad – especially with the three of us, working together! Everything will work out.
Babe – I know…but I feel helpless!
JR – I do too…
Adam – your helping us by recovering a 100, get this infection out of you
Tad – so that when we bring Little Adam to you…
Adam – you'll both be strong enough to come back home where you belong…at the mansion with JR, Brooke, Marian, Stuart, Colby, Liza, and myself.
Tad- where there will be a Welcome Home party, for you and Little Adam along with Bianca and Miranda…we'll invite all of Bianca's family, and The Martins…It will be total fun!
Aidan – am I invited?
JR – sure, if you would like to be there?
Aidan – I would…
Babe – then you're invited also…
Aidan – okay fellows, we should leave these two alone and get out there and find that little boy!
Adam, Tad, and Aidan leave Babe's room
Babe – Oh! Honey…this is like one big nightmare, and all I want is to be waken up from it!
JR – I know sweetie, it will be over soon…and will have our baby at home where we know he'll be safe
Babe – I should have talked to Joe, instead of Paul! I should have kept calm and scrutinized my situation. I should have asked for Joe, and told them it's Babe Chandler, and it's urgent I need to talk to Dr. Joe Martin.
JR – your did what you thought at the time, was the right thing to do…the point is you got someone to help you, and you didn't know if the phone would still work. You had to do what you had to do, I am just sorry I couldn't be your hero or even there to help you guys out!
Babe – I don't deserve you…your way to good for me!
JR – actually? You're just right for me, which means I am just right for you!
Babe – I love you always…
JR – I love you forever…
JR wraps his arms around her; she leans in to him
JR – do you remember those 2 questions you asked me?
Babe – who are you? And what are your dreams?
JR – yeah…I am ready to answer, "What are your dreams?"
Babe – well Adam Edward Chandler Jr…"what are your dreams?"
JR – honestly…since the day I've met you, my reality has become my dreams. I have a wonderful life, and it's so full of things that bring me joy, and happiness. I just wish I could have my mother be part of my life…but what's important is that she is watching me from heaven! When I am with you, I feel like everything will eventually be good or better then it is all the time.
Babe has tears forming in her eyes; she pulls JR in for a passionate kiss; they pull away
JR – I love you
Babe – I love you too
JR – I can't wait for the three of us, to go back home
Babe – me too, Can I take Miranda and bring her to see Bianca?
JR – sure…I would like to see how she is also. I'll be right back!
Babe – okay
JR walks out of the room; He walks up to Joe and knocks on the door
Joe – Hi JR
JR – Hi grandpa Joe
Joe – what can I do for you?
JR – Is Babe allowed to walk around?
Joe – I would have to check her status on the infection
JR – could you by any chance do it now?
Joe – sure…
JR – and can we take Bess to go see Bianca? I heard she woke up!
Joe – if Babe is okay, then yes you can!
Joe gets up; he walks with JR to see Babe; Joe and JR walk in to Babe's room
Joe – Hi sweetheart…how are you feeling?
Babe – I am feeling much better…stronger!
Joe – that's good…I am going to take a look at you, and check the status of your infection
Babe – okay
Joe does what he has to do; and he's satisfied with the results
Joe – I am very happy to say, the antibiotics we gave you really helped, you no longer have an infection and I am pleased to say, you can go for a walk, but keep it minimal…we don't want you to overexert yourself. Oh and I am not ready to release you yet, but if you would like you may change in to your normal clothing.
Babe – (smiles) thank-you so much grandpa Joe
Joe – I am very proud of you Babe, you have showed large amounts of strength…and in the time of a crisis. You did really well with Bianca and Miranda. She needs her best friend! I also think she would like to see my great granddaughter Bess.
Babe – thank-you so much Grandpa Joe, I am so happy that your not angry at me, for asking for Paul Cramer for help…I shouldn't have trusted him!
Joe – you were in a situation, you didn't have time to think about minor things…you had to worry about getting help, before the worst could have happened to Bianca…or yourself. No one is to be blamed for anything that has happened except Paul Cramer. He is the cause of this heartache and confusion. Do not blame yourself, none of us do!
Babe – okay…(Babe looks at JR, he looks tired and like he's lost some weight) Thank-you, oh yeah! Am I allowed to eat something?
Joe – if you would like to eat something in the cafeteria, you may!
Babe – okay! Cool!
Joe and Babe hug; they pull away; he hugs his grandson; and walks out of the room
Babe – do you by chance have any clothes for me in that overnight bag?
JR walks and brings it back to the bed; he starts pulling out her clothes
JR – actually…I saw your sweatpants, and blue fuzzy slippers along with your white long sleeved top
Babe – do you have any of my make up?
JR – I don't know…here you check?
He hands Babe the bag and she looks through it
Babe – found it (she holds up the toiletry bag)
JR – (laughs) cows…(then he thinks back to the one at the mansion) I'm glad you have more then one!
Babe – (looks confused) what does that mean?
J.R. – the one you had in your purse got ruined…
Babe – you found my purse?
J.R. – (shakes his head) Ryan did…when he found your car, all ruined and wrecked from the storm
Babe – oh…I can only guess what you were thinking!
J.R. –I was praying to god…to not take you away from me, I was thinking were you in the car?
Babe – so do you think lady luck was really on my side?
J.R. – I am not sure… if they didn't you would have been in the car when it got wrecked but you weren't so I guess believe that lady luck was on your side.
Babe – so my purse was ruined?
J.R. – yeah, It stayed together but it's full of water and mud I don't think you can salvage it!
Babe – I love that purse…and my cow make up bag?
J.R. – you may have to throw that away also!
Babe – I love my cow make up bag!
J.R. – I know…but you still have 2 of them right?
Babe – yeah…
J.R. – I'll buy you a new one
Babe – I got it in Salinas…momma bought it for me!
J.R. – I know…
Babe – whatever…what's important is that Bianca and I survived!
J.R. – I agree…
Babe – I'm sorry I scared you…I tried calling you a few times, and I tried calling you before the storm but my phone was dead, and Bianca's was in the car, when we went back to the car after finding the cabin there was no car, it washed away.
J.R. – what did I always tell you?
Babe – I know, I told Bianca that your one smart cookie and that you were right.
J.R. – so what happened? the very beginning?
Babe – we were driving, we just kept driving I didn't realize how fast time went; I didn't realize how far we had driven. It was thundering and lightning and Bianca was getting scared, I pulled over and then it starts pouring harder and the car almost swerves in to the river bank I stop that from happening and we both decided to find shelter, I noticed a cabin a few feet away, I told Bianca to wait in the car while I went to go check it out, she fought me…but she finally let me go. I went to the cabin it was dry, and empty so I went back to Bianca and it started raining harder, we ran out of the car and ran to the cabin and we settled in there. We both wanted to call home, I pull out my cell phone and it's dead then Bianca says hers is charged, and she realizes she left it in the car. So I tell her I'll be back and I am going to go get it, she fights me and insists on following me, so we walk back out and my car is gone we run back to the cabin and just spend time there talking, and I am trying to take Bianca's mind of labor pains, when she had Miranda I went and I searched for a phone…people…so I could call you and you can rescue us, I find an empty cabin and I try the phone I call the mansion, and your cell but the phones weren't working, I call the hospital and I tell them I need help I hear Paul talking and then I ask for him to try to get him to help, he hangs up on me I call the mansion I get through I hear momma's voice then I trip on the wire, and I severe it my labor pains get worse I go back to Bianca and she is unconscious and still holding Miranda. Paul eventually comes and he helps me…till he drugs me and I don't know what happened after that.
JR – you are very strong Babe…I don't think I truly realized how strong you are till all this happened, and you don't get scared easily…
Babe – no, I was extremely scared…but I had to be strong for Bianca, so she would be just as strong and we could both find a way to get home unharmed…and with our babies.
J.R. – you did good sweetheart…I am proud of you!
Babe – I let Bianca down…she thinks her daughter is dead, she was unconscious and needed surgery. She is harmed and she is weak.
J.R. – listen to me babe…you did everything you possible could, you were not the cause of her needing surgery…it was from loss of blood. She will get stronger know that she is recuperating. She will have Miranda back in her arms in no time. You were strong for the both of you, you got her through it all…she got to a hospital in perfect time, she could have bled to death if you didn't get Cramer to come and help you. Come on get ready and will go and see Bianca, she'll hold Miranda and she feel better…
Babe – are we going to tell her?
J.R. – I am not sure…let's first see what happens when we get there!
JR takes Babe's cow bag from her hands; he looks at them
JR –my favorite is the brown one…(he hands it back to Babe) the rest look scary!
Babe – mine too…and yeah they do!
JR – okay…hold on a sec
JR picks up the overnight bag, and her clothing…he uses his other hand to help Babe up
JR- put your support on me; you haven't walked in four days…
Babe- yes sir…(Babe does it and gets kind of wobbly) okay, give me the stuff and I use my one arm to hold on to you, while you hold on to me with both arms…
JR – yes dear…
Babe – god, I am numb! But I also feel lighter…like I lost a lot of weight!
JR – well…that's what happens when you give birth to a baby!
Babe – smart-ass…
JR – yeah, but you love it!
JR and Babe walk in to the bathroom; which is actually spacious!
JR – I've never been in one of these…are they always this spacious?
Babe – I have no idea…
Babe puts her clothes on the sink counter along with her toiletry bag
JR – there we go. Can you do this?
Babe – (feels confident) yes…yes I can!
JR – oh all right, if you need me I'll be right out this door!
Babe – okay…
JR walks out of the bathroom and closes the door he stands there. Babe starts walking to her clothes in a little pain! She pulls off her hospital robe, and puts on her bra…and puts on fresh underwear, and applies deodorant. She grabs her favorite shirt, and puts it on…it's a bit too big, but she doesn't care. She grabs her sweat pants, and is leaning to put them on, but it's too painful. She goes to sit on the toilet seat, and puts them on slowly…JR knocks on the door
Babe – come in baby…
Babe is getting up; she pulls them up her legs and ties them to make them tighter…she finishes and looks up at JR and smiles
Babe – there I did it all by myself…
JR – congratulations darling…(he smiles and walks up to Babe he puts his hands on her hips and they kiss)
Babe – have you changed your clothes or eaten anything since, I've been here? Or since I disappeared?
JR – please don't worry about me!
Babe – that's impossible, it's like me asking you not to worry about me!
JR – fine…no I haven't, I haven't slept in 5 days…and I haven't eaten in 4 days
Babe – then on our way to see Bianca, you are going to eat something in that cafeteria!
JR -…
Babe – do not argue with me…and you are going to change your clothes, because now that I think about it…I remember those clothes from the day of the rain.
Babe walks forward and smells him
JR – I don't smell that bad!
Babe – your right you don't but I think you should change!
Babe walks out in to the room and grabs the bag; she sees a pair of blue jeans. And a vintage blue t-shirt that says, "For good luck rub my tummy" and it has a Buddha bellow it, She walks back to her husband.
Babe – here you go darlin'…I want you to put on these clothes, and in my bag there's your axe
JR – fine!
Babe walks out of the bathroom and closes the door behind her, JR removes his old clothes and changes in to his nice clean clothes, Babe walks up to the bag and there's a plastic bag for there dirty clothes, also Krystal brought them there pj's. Babe smiles JR walks out of the bathroom and wraps his arms around Babe from behind and she leans in to him, and closes her eyes.
Babe – I miss Little Adam…I miss him so much!
JR – I do too honey…
Babe – I wish you could see him, and hold him…you haven't even been able to do that yet!
JR – when I finally do…it will be awesome!
Babe – I can't wait to take the first picture of my beautiful husband and our beautiful little boy together…it will be a wonderful picture!
JR – with you joining us, it will be a beautiful family picture…I am going to keep it in my wallet, and one in our bedroom.
Babe – our bedroom…our bed, I miss our bed!
JR – yeah so do I, but I can't sleep till Little Adam comes home to us!
Babe – sweetie, if you don't sleep it's going to be bad for your health
JR – and I will…I promise!
Babe – I am not finished…I need to brush my teeth, wash my face, and put on some make up
JR – I need to brush my teeth, and wash my face also!
Babe and JR walk in to the bathroom; JR sits on the toilet seat, and looks at Babe…she walks to the sink, and pulls out her face wash, she puts some in the palm of her hands, and rubs all over her face, looking in the mirror to make sure she covered her whole face.
JR – When Ryan and Greenlee found a car on the side of the road, and they searched it…and found yours and Bianca's bags, they came to the mansion and Ryan brought me to see your car…Babe I will never forget the image of that car! It was destroyed and smashed, and on the side of the river…I looked in your car, and I found the fuzzy dice, and I remembered the first time you bought those fuzzy dice. I told Tad and Ryan about the first time I brought you that car, I started crying…I was so scared I had lost you.
Babe – I know sweetheart…but what really kept me alive is, that I had to come back to you…and I had to take care of Bianca, Miranda and Little Adam, we all needed to come home to the people we love. I especially needed Bianca to come back home to Erica, they left on such horrid terms…I couldn't let Bianca die!
JR – I was trying so hard to not think the worse, it got difficult as time went on and the days got longer, but I always fought the negative words…I didn't want to loose you sweetheart because life without you sucked, while we were on a break and I am not willing to live like that again.
She finishes washing her face and brushing her teeth.
Babe – I am sorry that it scared you so much, I remember the day you gave me the car…It was Christmas morning
JR – you woke up and came downstairs in your pj's like you always do, I walked in to the house just as you were passing the front door, I told you I had a surprise for you…you asked me what? And I said, "wait here!" you said, "you hated waiting"…but you followed me outside in the cold, in a black tank/halter type of top and your gray sweatpants…
Babe – and my pink fuzzy slippers
JR – (laughs) yup, those too
Babe – I was excited, when you drove the car around…I was so happy! I have never had a brand new car…and it was all mine! It was my beautiful dark blue BMW 530i
JR – I pulled in front of you, and got out of the car, you kissed me then ran to the car…you got in and I ran in the house and got a coat, it was mine…we drove around and you passed a small store, you saw the pink fuzzy dice, and you parked the car and walked outside, I handed you the coat and you put it on. We went in to the store and you looked around you found the dice and you said "Lady Luck will be on our side" once you got those dice, it cost $3.75 and you looked in my coat pocket and I had a rolled up $5 in there, that I didn't even know about! We walked back to the car and drove home.
Babe – and Lady Luck clearly was on our side…through everything!
JR – yes it has…
Babe – the past 9 months have been quite awesome…we met, became friends, got me divorced, had hot sex, got engaged and pregnant, got married, cheated, broke up, got back together, and had a baby.
JR – and if we told people all that, they never would believe that it's been 9 months…I feel like I've known you all our lives, I feel like we've been together for so long.
Babe – I know it does feel like longer, but I got to tell you…I am glad that I found you, I don't care that we've known each other for such a short amount of time, because you make me happy! You make all this that we've been through okay!
JR – oh…thanks baby, I feel the same for you!
Babe and JR start kissing; they pull away
JR washes his face brushes his teeth, he finishes and sits back on the toilet seat. Babe looks through her make up bag and pulls out her eye shadow, and mascara. Babe applies a gold/beige shadow to her lash line, and then applies a soft maroon color in the crease area. She then applies a charcoal gray shadow in the highlight color area, below the brow bone. Finally, she blends the colors with her fingertip to remove any obvious line. Then she applies a very light touch of the same shade of charcoal gray eyeliner then two coats of black mascara. Then she holds her pink lip gloss in her hand, she zips up her make up bag and goes in to the room she gets out her brush and walks back in to the bathroom J.R. is still sitting on the toilet, he is looking at his wife in front of the mirror, she puts some water on the brush and brushes her blonde hair, she ties it back In a loose pony tail, and looks in the mirror, she faces J.R.
Babe – out of 10 what do you give me?
J.R. – 20…
Babe – so I look fine right?
J.R. – yes…why do you care how you look anyways?
Babe – I don't know…I just felt like putting make up on and fixing my hair
J.R. – well you look sexy…and your all mine!
Babe kisses her husband, she wraps her arms around him, he wraps his arms around her and rests his chin on the top of her head he closes his eyes. She leans her head against his chest she can feel him breathe…she closes her eyes.
Babe – I miss this…being held by you.
J.R. – I miss holding you
Babe – I want to see Bianca, we have all the time in the world to do this.
Babe and J.R. pull away
JR – were always in a public bathroom together…
Babe – (smiles) and when I fully recover…(Babe whispers in his ear) me and you will broaden our horizons, of places to have sex!
They leave the bathroom; She puts her lip-gloss in her bag, she decided against wearing it, J.R. comes up behind her and whispers something in her ear.
JR - Le bébé. ...i ne peut pas attendre ! Baby…I can't wait!
Babe – good…because I promise it will be awesome!
JR pulls Babe in for a passionate kiss…it lasts for a few minutes, till they pull away
JR – come on and lets go see Miranda, the little girl you brought in to this world
Babe – oh…I can't wait!
JR and Babe walk out of the hospital room holding hands. It's 4:10 pm
