Amber the girl from Furnace Creek
Amber arrived in Los Angeles in 1997 as a babysitter and older influence for teenagers Rick Forrester and his sister Bridget Forrester, the children of Brooke Logan and Eric Forrester. Amber dreamed about getting away from Forrest Creek a town that mainly housed trailer parks and she felt the gig she got to look after two rich snotty teenagers was a god send. Amber watched over Rick who at the time was sixteen years of age compared to Amber's twenty years of age and Bridget who was fifthteen years of age. Amber spoke to Clarke Garrison after meeting him at a shop joking that she needed money in her life and he jokes and says well you know the best way to get that is to marry a rich guy. Amber thought to herself and then started to slowly flirt with Rick and show a little skin to pique his interest. So then in the Fall of 1997, Amber led an infatuated Rick upstairs and had sex with him while she was suppose to be babysitting him unknown to Brooke as she returned home. They kept it a secret and grinned at each other and snickered as she sat at the table to have dinner with Brooke and Eric on one occasion. During her time in Los Angeles, Amber encountered bad dealings with Sheila Carter. Amber eventually began a relationship with Rick much to the dismay of the entire Forrester family and the two married after Amber became pregnant.
Who's the Daddy?
It was unclear as to whether or not Rick was the father or Raymond King, a black singer and musician she had dated and had sex with while working as a waitress and singer at a club.

Amber therefore, decided to go to Rick and tell him that the baby was his. Rick was devastated and fearful telling his mom he didn't know what to do. Should he marry her? Brooke tells him no. She just wanted a meal ticket. Rick listens to his mother but relays to her he didn't want to be like Ridge going from woman to woman and not taking care of his responsibility like he did to Brooke time and time again and he was going to be a man and marry her. Brooke tried to get him to see that the situation wasn't the same. Amber plotted to get with him from the beginning because of his name Forrester. He tells her regardless of whether it's true or not he's going to be a father to his child. She demands that he gets a paternity test after the child is born and he says okay. He will.
