Visiting Miranda, to bring her to see Bianca

Ann – Mr. Chandler, your daughter has been waiting to see her daddy

Babe walks in behind him

Babe – and what about her mommy?

Ann – Mrs. Chandler…Well I am glad your better, I think Bess would be really excited to see you also

JR – thank you Ann, we'll take it from here!

Ann- you're welcome Mr. Chandler…Mrs. Chandler

Ann walks out of the room

Babe – This is killing me….

JR – don't worry honey…soon enough

Tad and Adam walk in to the room; JR and Babe look at them

Tad – Babe are you allowed to be out of bed?

Joe walks in hearing Tad's question

Joe – Doctor recommends it!

Tad – what about the infection?

Babe – it's gone! I am fine!

Adam – oh thank heavens…we were worried!

He walks up to Babe and gives her a hug they pull away

Babe – thanks Adam

Tad does the same as Adam

Tad – Adam is right, we were all so worried! We got use too you being around…you made us a family!

Babe – thanks Tad

Joe – So son…why have I been summoned here? I have patients!

Tad – well…we need a DNA test

Joe – on whom?

Babe walks up holding Miranda

JR – on this beautiful little girl

Joe – I don't understand…why?

Tad – Babe remembers having a little boy, she held her son and called him Little Adam. Bianca had a little girl, and Babe held on to them both while Paul went to go get the incubators. Paul then drugged her and took Little Adam to be raised by another woman…

Adam – Paul came to visit Babe while she was asleep and he was going to try to drug her again, he confessed everything, and we got it on tape!

Joe – where is this proof?

Tad pulls out the tape recorder and presses play Paul speaking

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…

4:30 pm; Tad shuts off the recorder

Joe – so I am gathering that Bianca doesn't know, and before you tell her family you want to have solid proof!

Tad – this is why were Father and Son…great minds think alike!

Joe – okay!

Joe walks up to the phone, and calls a nurse the nurse comes in; he takes a swab and also orders on for Bianca, and one for Babe. 4:40 pm Joe finishes and has all the samples sent to the lab.

Joe – I'll get a rush on the results son…

Tad- thanks pops…the sooner we know, the sooner Bianca gets Miranda

Joe – Bianca is asking to see you and JR

Babe – we can still bring Bess right?

Joe – yes…

JR – okay, excuse us guys…

Babe, Miranda, and JR leave the room they go to Bianca's room; JR walks in first, Babe waits with Miranda

Bianca – JR Hi

JR – Hi Bianca, this may be the stupidest question ever…but how are you? Other then the obvious!

Bianca – well my health is fine, I am getting stronger…but my heart is breaking! (She wipes away fallen tears)

JR – I am so sorry Bianca…

Bianca – don't apologize, you did nothing wrong! How is Babe? And Bess?

JR – (smiles) why don't you ask them yourselves!

JR walks to the door

JR – honey…

Babe walks in to the room smiling, Bianca starts smiling

Babe – Hi darling…

Bianca – Hi sweetie (Babe walks up to her; they hug and Babe hands her Miranda) Hi Bess…Hi ya beautiful

Miranda Smiles

Babe – Bess wanted to see you…she wanted to see her mommy's best friend!

Bianca – oh…your so pretty, When we find Miranda…you two are going to be best friends, just like your momma's

Babe – I am glad you haven't lost hope!

Bianca – I went through too much…to loose her know!

Babe – exactly…

JR – so has there been any updates from the crash site?

Bianca – they found her incubator, but they didn't find Miranda…

JR – which means she could have been brought somewhere!

Bianca – by whom?

Babe – the pilot! Paul Cramer…

Bianca – Paul Cramer was our pilot? Wasn't he your ex?

Babe – yes…but I called PVH and instead of asking for Joe, I asked for Paul Cramer…I should have never done that!

Bianca – oh…why not?

Babe – Paul crashed the plane and he drugged me telling me, it was to help me…I hate him and he has been nothing but trouble for me, since the day I met him!

JR – and I am going to kill him…he is the only one who knows the truth about Miranda

Bianca – so you guys think he knows where Miranda is?

JR – without a doubt!

Babe – Yes!

Bianca – my family will help…we need to talk to Tad, see if maybe he can get a hold of him!

Babe – we already did!

JR – he's getting back to us within the hour

Bianca – okay…good!

Babe- don't worry hon. Tad is awesome at his job…he'll solve this!

JR- especially because it's so close to home!

Bianca – okay, can we go for a little walk…I haven't walked in days, and I allowed taking small walks

Babe – lets get something to eat…I need to make sure my darling husband eats something!

JR – Babe…(Miranda yawns) oh is my little princess tired?

Babe – it's amazing how fast his focus changes!

Bianca laughs

Bianca – you two are so cute…when I first met you, I saw what and you JR had…and it is damn special!

Babe – he's my always and forever!

JR – and she is mine!

Bianca – I only hope to find a special and meaningful love like you two share…

Maggie walks in to the room smiling

Maggie – good to see you out and about! how are you?

Bianca – (smile and hands Bess to JR) I am doing fine…I've got hope!

Maggie – Hi Babe, how are you?

The two girls join in the middle for a hug

Maggie – neither have i…

Bianca – well you better eat!

Maggie – but I am really not that hungry…

Bianca – you have to eat…because I say so!

Maggie hands Miranda to Babe

Bianca – so do you JR, because Babe says so!

JR – fine!

Babe – you're my hero!

Bianca – oh…but there's nothing too it, I am in the hospital why would they say no?

Babe – so was I…

Babe shakes her head and looks at her husband; Babe walks around with Miranda, JR is following her

JR – I love you…did you know that? You're the best wife a guy could have!

Babe – I love you too cheesepuff!

JR – cheesepuff! I never did like cheesepuff

Babe – exactly…

Bianca and Maggie talking

Maggie – so you're really doing better?

Maggie helps up Bianca, JR comes and helps Maggie out

JR – put your weight on me

Bianca – why I feel lighter…

Babe – I said the same thing!

Babe – it does…

Maggie and JR let go, Bianca takes a step and is getting use to walking again

Bianca – look Ma, no hands! (She's holding up her hands)

JR, Babe, and Maggie laugh

Jamie and Amanda walk in and see Bianca walking

Bianca – hi love birds…

JR, Babe and Maggie look at whom Bianca is talking too

Jamie – where are we walking to…and should you be walking?

Bianca – yes Jamie, I am allowed to be walking! I am not dead! (Everyone looks at her) Luckily…

Amanda – Babe…can I hold Bess?

Babe – sure…

Babe hands Miranda to Amanda

Amanda – hi sweetie pie! How is my favorite niece?

Miranda smiles at Amanda

Amanda – (whispers) actually you're my only niece and uncle Jamie's too, which is why you're going to get extra attention from us!

Babe is a few feet away

Babe – I heard that…you two are not going to spoil her like crazy

JR – exactly…that's my job!

JR smiles and Babe shakes her head and smiles

Jamie – relax Babe…no matter how much we spoil this child, she will be just as spoiled from her parents!

Babe – fine! I'll drop the whole uptight act…but I don't want her to stop listening to me/us also!

JR – don't worry baby…she'll listen to us

Maggie - you'll be great parents!

Babe smiles

Jamie – so where are we going? No one answered my question?

JR – we are going to the cafeteria for food

Jamie – I am starved

Amanda – I think we all are!

JR, Jamie, Bianca, Maggie, Babe, Amanda and Bess walk out of Bianca's hospital room

Bianca – I am really sorry, I made you all worry…and I am sorry I put Babe's life in danger

Babe- honey…you didn't put my life in danger, I drove…you told me to keep driving and I did!

Amanda – you both have nothing to be blamed for! You both survived on your own, and you both brought Babies in to this world on your own…

JR – Amanda is right! None of us are mad, were just relived you both made it back to all of us!

Maggie – exactly…so no more apologies for things you're not responsible for!

Bianca – okay I promise! No more apologizes

JR looks at Babe; Babe looks at him; he gives her a look

Babe – fine! I also will stop saying sorry…

Jamie – finally…it took you a long time!

Babe sticks her tongue out at Jamie

Jamie – very mature Babe…

They walk in to the cafeteria, and get food and drinks they sit and eat and talk a 1-hour later; they're on their way back to Bianca's room. Miranda fell asleep in Maggie's arms; It's 5:00 pm

5:02 pm

Bianca's room

Jack, Kendall, Erica, Reggie, and Lily are waiting for her; Maggie walks in with Bianca; JR, Babe, Jamie, and Amanda go to bring Miranda to the nursery to sleep.

Bianca – hi family…

Reggie – Hi Binks, (Reggie and Bianca hug and pull away) it's really good to see you walking around

Bianca – thanks Reggie

Lily – I am really glad your feeling better, I am just sorry about Miranda

Bianca – don't worry Lily…I have faith Miranda will come home soon enough

Lily – really…(she smiles) good, I would really love to have a baby be part of our family…

Bianca – yeah it would be really great!

Lily – and when you need a baby sitter, you can ask Reggie and me for help! But Reggie will clean the baby's diapers, because that is gross!

Reggie – I never said that!

Lily – no, but you said you'd do anything for Bianca as long as she gets better and gets Miranda

Reggie – which is the truth!

Bianca – well, changing diapers is part of babysitting responsibilities

Reggie – I guess…so looks like Lily is right!

Lily – I never lie…

Reggie – I know…So Binks how are you feeling?

Bianca – I feel a lot better, but I am also keeping the hope that Miranda will come back to us!

Jack – that's exactly what we have to do…we have to have a constant hope!

Bianca – thanks Uncle Jack

Jack and Bianca hug; they pull away minutes later

Jack – I was worried about you honey, we actually all were…I am so glad your 100

Bianca – thanks, don't worry…no more going out in storms!

Reggie – good…because I would never forgive you!

Bianca – I know you wouldn't…Reggie you and Lily are the coolest cousins, and I love you all so much!

Lily – we love you just as much Bianca

Jack looks at Erica who is behind them admiring everyone

Jack – Reggie, could you and Lily give us a few minutes alone…here is $5 go get something from the gift shop for Bianca (Jack hands them $5 each)

Reggie – no problem J…come on Lily let's choose some nice flowers for Bianca

Lily – do you want anything in specific?

Bianca – surprise me!

Lily – okay, see you in a little while

Maggie – I'll come with you guys

Maggie, Lily, and Reggie walk out of Bianca's room; Jack closes the door behind them

Bianca – uncle Jack, I was with JR and Babe and they told me something

Jack – what?

Bianca – they told me…that Babe's ex husband Paul Cramer was flying the chopper, and they told me that he drugged Babe, and they think he may have given Miranda to another woman to be raised…They got Tad involved in there theory and he's checking it out!

Jack – really…so this would be proof that she is alive!

Bianca – yes, because why would he drug Babe…if it weren't for her to notice what he's doing! I was unconscious…

Jack – it makes sense!

Bianca – can you call Tad?

Jack – sure, honey…I'll be back!

Jack kisses her cheek and Erica's cheek; he walks out of the room and closes the door; Bianca looks at her mother who is looking at her Bianca – mom… Bianca gets up carefully and walks over to her mother

Bianca – I love you…I am sorry I made you worry,

Erica and Bianca hug; Erica is smiling and starts silently crying; they pull away

Erica – I love you too Baby, you and Kendall are very important to me… just as Jack, Reggie, Greenlee and Lily do.

Bianca – I love you too mom, I am sorry that I wasn't very nice to you on Friday

Erica – no I am sorry, I wasn't a good mother to you and I shouldn't have asked you to get rid of Miranda…I just didn't want you to have to feel all the pain I felt!

Bianca – I understand that…but even though you gave up Kendall for adoption, and you two had got off on the wrong foot, do you regret Kendall now…knowing that you and her love each other!

Erica – no…but I had a lot of painful memories flood back, and it was destroying me like it use too, I am actually grateful that we found a way to be a family, because I love Kendall as much as I love you, you both mean the world too me

Bianca – well then we need to work on getting Kendall to forgive you…because this is the time were have to be united! I need all the help I can get in finding Miranda, and you'll both be working together.

Erica – well honey…if you can pull it off, you will be my idol…because I need you both as much as you need me.

Bianca and Erica hug they here the door and look at Jack who walks in with Reggie, Lily, and Maggie. Bianca and Erica pull apart.

Lily – we bought you sunflowers…do you like them?

Lily hands Bianca her flowers; Bianca puts them on the side of her bed and smiled

Bianca – they're beautiful…I love them! Thank-you guys

Reggie – it was no big deal!

Lily – I m glad you like them, there wasn't a lot of choice and these were the nicest ones there

Bianca – I am glad, I love sunflowers…there beautiful!

Tad knocks on the door; Jack opens it

Tad – hi...can I come in?

Jack – sure…

Jack moves aside; Tad walks in

Bianca – hi Tad…

Tad – hi honey, are you getting stronger?

Bianca – yes I feel a 110

Tad – good! So I need to talk to you

6:35 pm Knock on the door; Jack opens it, in walks Joe with a nurse who has a wheel chair

Joe – Bianca, We would like to take you somewhere...have a seat!

Bianca – sure…what's going on?

Joe, Bianca, Tad, Erica, Jack, Maggie, Lily, and Reggie follow Tad and Joe to the nursery

Bianca – is something wrong with Bess? Why are we at the nursery?

Joe – nothing is wrong with Bess…

Tad- you'll find out soon enough why were here

They open the door and see JR, Babe, Kendall, Ryan, and Greenlee

Bianca – hi everyone…someone want to tell me what's going on?

Kendall – yeah…what's going on? And why are we in the nursery?

Tad – we called everyone here, because myself, Aidan, Adam, Krystal all found out something interesting about the horrible crash! My father is here to confirm stuff.

Babe – Bianca…what do you remember about those few days we were missing?

Bianca – I remember you delivering Miranda and leaving us to go find something to contact home!

Babe – okay, I went to a cabin and I found a phone; it worked and I called home, but the phones were down, I got a reach of the hospital and I contacted my ex Paul Cramer…he hung up on me and I didn't know if he was going to help us, so I called home again hoping it may work I got through but I tripped and I severed the wire, so the phone would no longer work…I went back to you and you were out and Miranda was sitting in your arms. Eventually my contractions started getting closer, and I was praying for someone to help us, Paul eventually came and he delivered my child…but Bianca my child was a little boy…I held him in my arms and called him…

Bianca – Little Adam…

Babe – yes, I held him in my arms with Miranda while Paul went to go get us incubators then when he came back we put them in there, and we went to the chopper and Paul drugged me telling me it will make me rest. When I woke up there was a plane crash and only 1 baby, Paul lied and said the other baby was thrown from the chopper…So Paul was being hassled by my family…

JR – and he told us that Miranda was our child…at first! We believed it, but Babe woke up and kept asking for Little Adam… and Krystal and Adam looked in to it, and asked Babe what she remembers from the crash. When I was holding Miranda after she got checked on, I realized that Miranda looks nothing like Babe and I…Kendall even said when she first looked in to this child's eyes, she saw you!

Babe – none of us, trusted Paul…so Tad, Aidan, and Adam all were going to be prepared if Paul was going to show up to finish the job and make me forget that we had a little boy, which he did and Aidan got it on tape proving that Little Adam is alive and being raised by another woman.

Bianca- can I hear it?

Tad – suit yourself darling…(he hands Bianca the tape recorder; Bianca presses play)

Paul's Voice

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…

Bianca hands the tape recorder to Tad

Joe – so Tad, Krystal, and Adam asked me to run some labs…to be 100 sure that this beautiful little girl (he is pointing to a sleeping Miranda) was actually Miranda

Bianca – and?

Joe – they came back positive, this is in fact your daughter

Bianca, Maggie, Erica, Kendall all are crying silent tears of joy; Jack comforts Erica, Ryan comforts Kendall, and Maggie is comforting Bianca, they all have smiles on there faces! Bianca walks over to her sleeping daughter and looks at her beautiful baby girl. Bianca then walks over to Babe and pulls her in for a hug…they pull apart.

Babe – I am really happy for you, sweetie! I am so happy that you got back your beautiful Miranda Mona Montgomery

Bianca – thank –you Babe, thank-you for helping bringing Miranda in to this world…and for putting her back in to my arms…

Babe – please don't thank me, you're my best friend…I will always have your back!

Bianca – and your mine, and you'll also always have my back

Babe and Bianca smile; and hug once again and they pull away eventually

Kendall – congratulations Binks…I am really happy for you

Bianca – thanks Kendall…

Kendall and Bianca meet for a hug and eventually pull away

Erica – oh! That is wonderful news…we got Miranda back, I am so happy…

Bianca and Erica hug and pull away

Bianca – thanks Lily, good night and sweet dreams too

Bianca – I agree everything will be normal again…

Reggie – I love you…Binks!

Lily – I love you too Bianca, actually I love all my family!

Jack – and we love you just as much!

Reggie- okay J, let's get out of here!

Reggie and Lily walk to the door

Erica – I'll be right there…

Jack – okay…

Jack walks out in the hall with Lily and Reggie, they wait! Erica walks over to Bianca who is with Kendall staring at Miranda

Erica – I love you honey…I love you both very much, you both are my universe, all my family is! I hope you can both forgive me, for being so rotten!

Bianca looks at Kendall; Kendall looks at Bianca

Kendall – we love you too mom, and your also our universe!

Bianca – and so is our family!

Kendall and Bianca pull Erica in to a group hug; they pull away

Kendall – know go! Your husband and stepchildren are waiting…

Erica smiles; she walks out of the room and walks holding hands with Jack; Lily and Reggie are on the opposite sides of Jack and Erica; Back to the room.
