Dominic ''Dom'' Phillip Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor is a fictional character on The Young and the Restless.
Biography[]
Dominic is the son of Chance Chancellor and Abby Newman. His biological father is Devon Winters.
Chance was unable to have children due to an injury, and Abby couldn't carry a child after her miscarriage years prior, so Devon volunteered to be the sperm donor with Mariah Copeland being the surrogate.
Abby, Devon and Mariah went through the conception and pregnancy together as Chance was away on a secret undercover assignment.
During Mariah's pregnancy, she was kidnapped and held captive by Abby's ex-husband Ben "Stitch" Rayburn in an attempt to win back Abby's love. He sent text messages to Mariah's friends and family to make them think everything was ok and that she left on her own. Devon became suspicious and shared those suspicions with Abby who was becoming increasingly worried about Mariah's absence.
When Abby finally confronted Stitch, he admitted everything and led Abby and Devon to Mariah. Mariah had gone into labor and they found her just in time to deliver Dominic, whom Mariah had nicknamed "Bowie" during their captivity.
After being rushed to the hospital, both were given a clean bill of health. Abby named the baby Dominic to honor Devon and Mariah's contributions with the "D" and "M" initials in his name. Devon and Mariah were also named his godparents at his christening.
Recently Mariah has experience PTSD from the kidnapping and separation anxiety whenever she is away from Dominic. As a result, after his christening, she tells Abby that she can no longer live at the Chancellor Estate and be around baby Dominic day-to-day because it's too hard. She wants to be his mother, but knows it's not her place, so she feels it best to leave.
