2004: Miranda Montgomery was the result of rape. Michael Cambias tried to claim his revenge against the Kane family by raping Bianca Montgomery. Kendall Hart, Bianca’s sister, was going to pass off Miranda as her own child to protect her form scrutiny. But Kendall’s ruse was revealed. Bianca decided to go through with having Miranda even though her mother, Erica Kane, had not dealt with her own rape.
The night Miranda was born; Bianca was stranded in a cabin. A storm had made it impossible to make it back to the city. Babe Chandler helped Bianca give birth. Babe would give birth to her own son that evening, Adam Chandler, III. Bianca passed out from loosing so much blood during delivery.
The mothers and their children were rescued by Paul Cramer. Paul staged a helicopter crash so that he could kidnap Little Adam and give him to his sister, Kelly Cramer Buchanan, in Llanview. Adam and JR Chandler arrived at the site and threatened to hurt Paul if he did not produce JR and Babe’s son. Paul instead took Miranda and gave her to them. JR and Babe named Miranda Elizabeth “Bess” Chandler. Bianca mourned the loss of her child.
Babe asked Bianca to be Bess’ godmother. Bianca always felt a connection to Bess. When Babe found out Bess was Miranda, she continued the charade, afraid the truth would mean the end of her marriage. That all changed when Babe found Little Adam alive in Llanview.
Babe arranged for Bianca and JR to get a letter telling the truth about Bess. JR read the letter first. He then destroyed Bianca’s. When Babe found out, she arranged for a face to face meeting with Bianca. When JR realized Bianca knew the truth, he refused to give her Miranda. They struggled for Miranda, causing Bianca to fall off a landing and into a coma.
