"Days of Our Lives" viewers know that Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) have a long and complicated history together. After falling in love with Brady, Kristen became obsessed with the idea of having his child. She even stole Theresa Donovan's embryo so that she could carry and give birth to Brady's oldest child, Tate, per Soaps in Depth. However, years later, Kristen returned to Salem disguised as Brady's on-again, off-again girlfriend Nicole Walker. The two got intimate and Kristen ended up pregnant with Brady's daughter, naming her Rachel.
Kristen was over the moon about the pregnancy. However, her joy didn't last long. The night that she went into labor, Sarah Horton was also set to deliver her daughter, Mickey. A terrible car accident impacted Sarah's birth and her baby later died. However, her boyfriend Xander Cook and his uncle Victor Kiriakis plotted to swap Sarah's daughter with Brady and Kristen's little girl, per TV Insider.
Brady and Kristen were told that their baby had died and Sarah took home Rachel, believing that she was Mickey. Kristen went off the deep end after losing her child, while Sarah was overjoyed about being a mother. Sadly, a year later, it was discovered that the babies had been swapped and that Mickey had died. Sarah was devastated when she was told she would have to hand over the baby to Brady and Kristen.
