[edit] Love and Marriage
In 2003 J.R. returned to Pine Valley happily married to a young woman he had met three weeks before, Arabella Carey aka Babe. She had already made her mark on Pine Valley. The night before, a tipsy Babe took Jamie Martin's virginity. J.R later revealed that he'd met Babe one night in San Diego at the end of a fog covered dock. He believed that Babe was going to jump and take her life, but Babe said that as bad as things were she never would have taken her own life.
Adam tried to break up the newlyweds' marriage. He loathed Babe, who he felt was only after his son's money. He was unable to break apart the marriage. When Adam found out that Jamie had slept with Babe -- and Babe later found out that she was pregnant although she wasn't sure who the father was-- Adam tried to enlist Jamie into breaking up the marriage. That too failed. This was also around the time that Babe's other secret was beginning to come to light- that she was already married and had never gotten a divorce from her first husband Paul Cramer.
As J.R. tried to prove to Adam that he can handle any challenge that comes his way, Paul and Babe were scheming to throw suspicion off themselves. They rigged a paternity test to insure that it said J.R. was the father of Babe’s child with the help of Babe's mother Krystal Carey Chandler. However, Tad Martin learned about all of this. Krystal told him to just let the lovebirds be happy. Tad lied to JR to protect him, compromising their already fragile relationship. Babe delivered a son, Adam Chandler III, referred to as "Little Adam" or "Little A".
[edit] Betrayal and Distrust
J.R. and Babe eventually divorced, a situation that was forced by the "Baby Switch" storyline of 2004. But, a drunk J.R. then got behind the wheel of his car, where Babe tried to keep him from driving. She was unsuccessful, and a speeding J.R. soon hit Amanda Dillion. Babe shocked J.R. when she confessed to driving the car, protecting him from jail. This endeared Babe to J.R., and the two slowly grew closer. J.R., not fully trusting Babe, continued to test her loyalty and Babe passed every test. J.R. finally confessed his love for Babe. By this time, Babe had genuinely fallen for J.R. again and told him so.
Then, Babe and Little Adam were kidnapped by Janet Dillon, who made it appear as if Babe had run off with her son. A furious J.R. had his trust in Babe shattered again and began drinking, going so far as to hold Krystal at gunpoint in order to find Babe. Babe's innocence was proven when she was rescued from Janet, and she forgave J.R. for doubting her. The two remarried. J.R. was rocked when he discovered his long estranged mother Dixie Cooney was still very much alive. When he learned that she chose to stay away for four years and refused to say why, he shut down. Drinking heavily, his feelings of betrayal transferred onto Babe. J.R. began to believe that Babe really didn't love him and was using him to gain custody of their son. Fueled by alcohol and anger, J.R. temporarily lost control and set a trap to kill Babe. However, longtime best friend Kendall Hart was caught in the trap instead and fell into a coma while pregnant. Babe soon realized that J.R. had tried to murder her and confronted him on it.
[edit] J.R. on trial
J.R. was arrested and put in jail. He remained bitter at everyone, especially Babe. He felt Babe betrayed their love. When Adam refused to pay his bail, J.R. believed he was all alone. His uncle Stuart Chandler paid his bail and the two went on a tour of Pine Valley. J.R. learned that throughout all his troubles, Babe and Jamie still loved him while Dixie blamed herself for J.R.'s problems. J.R. decided to be a man about it. He confessed to Babe about setting the trap for her, but hurting Kendall instead, and endangering her unborn baby. At first, Babe was skeptical at the new J.R., but J.R. was willing to go to prison for his sins. Just when it appeared that J.R. was to be sent to prison for ten years, Babe, urged by Dixie, told the courtroom that she lied about J.R.'s actions before. It was all a mistake. J.R. was in shock, but Babe stood by him. Even when Kendall awoke from her coma and tried to testify that J.R. had confessed while she was unconscious, it was not enough. J.R. was set free, while various citizens of Pine Valley including Kendall, Erica Kane and Ryan Lavery vowed to take revenge on the couple. J.R. and Babe set out to make their relationship work, despite the hatred of other people in the All My Children world.
