-April 20,2007-
For Scarlett it was a normal day, she was on her way to her mother's house to tell her how she was doing with the pregnancy. She kept telling herself that she wasn't ready to have a child. But when she was told the sex of the baby she cried and cried but she didn't know why.

Flashback:
Scarlett went to her doctor appointment still thinking that she don't want the baby.  Before getting out of the car she cried because she did not want to give a child a life where she knew that she was not going to give him what he needed. That son was going to be alone because at that moment her career was the most important thing for her. Melanie accompanied her because she does want Scarlett to keep the baby and she even offered Scarlett that she could go live there so she could take care of her. Scarlett got out without first giving her mom a hug. The only ones who knew about her pregnancy were her mom, Hunter and Vanessa. Scarlett came in and they passed her quickly, they did the process and it was time to tell her her gender. The doctor with a smile told her that she was a girl and that she was healthy. Scarlett cried with happiness because it was what she wanted even though she also just wanted a healthy baby. At that moment she thought that she could handle everything. They quickly went to the stores, bought clothes, things for the baby.
End of flashback

Scarlett's POV:
I walked into my mom's house smelling like my favorite food. I'm 8 months pregnant and I'm only 1 month away from giving birth. Only my mom knows that she I have been depressed knowing that I am not going to be a good mom but she assures me that I will be. I entered the kitchen, my mom greets me and I feel something wet on my legs and a pain I can't stand.
Mom, I think my water just broke. We went like crazy to the hospital. They treated me but I was only 6 cm I wanted this baby to be taken off me now the pain in huge. My brothers arrived I don't even know how they found out but I know I don't even know where I am now. I reach 10 cm one last push and the most beautiful girl I've ever seen comes out. But something happens that she doesn't cry, I start yelling at the doctor what happened to my daughter and he only says that she is premature that we have to wait and see what happens.
I cry all night because this is not what I want to give her. The next day the nurse arrives with my baby in her hands so that I can feed her. She woke up and she's hungry says the nurse I bring her closer to me and I see that she is a copy of me. She has my face shape, my nose, my mouth is like seeing a mini me. I feed her from my breast and I swear it's the best feeling I've ever had, having contact with my baby is something else. My mom comes over and is impressed with her. And she asks me that you're going to do.

Melanie's POV:
I am in the hospital with my heart in my hand knowing that my granddaughter did not cry at birth. I am just thinking that she can't die I'm so deep in my thoughts that Vanessa pulls me out of them and hugs me. I'm  worried about Scarlett too. I need to know what she wants to do because if she puts her up for adoption I'm capable of taking her. The morning passes and I see the nurse with my granddaughter come in. Seeing Scarlett's face makes me want to cry because she has a happy face. When I finally got to see her, it's like seeing a copy of Scarlett at birth. What I want to know is if they have the same mole but I'll ask another time now I just want to see it.

Scarlett POV;
My baby fell asleep and I get a call. I didn't want to move her  her because I want to be at peace with her for a few more minutes but I have no other choice. I see who calls me
"New York Adoption Center"
I look at my mom and hand her over to my daughter very carefully.
Hello, this is Scarlett speaking.
-Yes, hello, it is because we already found out that you gave birth, it is to know if we continue with the papers because there is already a family that wants to meet the baby. It already has a name?
- Yes, but there is one I haven't put on the papers. How much time do I have to decide?
-until  you tomorrow because we don't have much room left for the baby
- Of course tomorrow I will receive my answer
- Thank you congratulations

I don't know what to do with her when I see her, I just want to hold her, I want to see her grow up and protect her. But at the same time I don't think that I am capable of doing it.
What I do?
