Before The Series
Margot was born in Manhattan, New York, twelve minutes after her twin brother Julian. Margot met Henry Bass when they were in kindergarten and they began officially dating in eighth grade. Margot also met her best friend, Victoria Harris, when they were very young.

Margot and Henry dated throughout high school. During November of their junior year, Margot found out she was pregnant with Henry's baby. Margot tried to keep her pregnancy a secret, but when her parents found out they told her to give the baby to her aunt and uncle. Unable to face Henry and her friends, Margot left Manhattan without saying goodbye over holiday break.

During her pregnancy, Margot began to question her decision to give the baby away. When she found out she was carrying a boy she told her aunt and uncle she wanted to keep the baby but they talked her out of it, saying that Henry would want nothing to do with her or their son. Margot again expressed her desire to keep her child three weeks after secretly giving birth to her and Henry's son, James, in July 2030. However her aunt and uncle lied to her and said it was too late for her to change her mind.
