-At the Venue-
We just pulled up to the venue and there was a red carpet for everyone going to meet the celebrities. We all got out the car, Jamie locking it behind us and then passing me the keys; I put them into my jacket pocket as we all joined the line. As we got further and further into the building, hundreds of camera men were taking pictures of all the guests when suddenly they all turned towards us. Originally I thought they were taking pictures of someone famous or something so I turned around to see who it was but it was just ordinary people from Brooklyn. They continued to take photos of us when I turned and whispered to Jamie, "Why are they taking pictures of us..?" He chuckles and says to me; "Not us E, you! Just embrace it and smile.."
I turn back to the camera people and give a small smile, when I see a big white flash and the camera man takes off instantly after checking his photo. Well that was weird.. I shrug it off and continue talking to Jamie, Olive and Sierra as we slowly make our way forward.
- Scarlett's POV-
"Hiii!" I say to one of my fans who came up to me, "What's your name?" I ask her with a smile. "My name is Callie!" I smile at her handing her an autograph and posing with her for a picture, she hugs me then walks away. I'm the last one on the line to meet this round, and it quite fun! A buzz goes off which means its time for a small break, we get 25 minutes to get a snack and something to drink before we do another few hours of meeting fans; I head behind the curtain and go toward one of the rooms we were given where I find Lizzy and Evans sat down talking.
"Hey guys," I say going over to the mini fridge, I grab a water and join Chris on the sofa. "Girl have you seen this picture?" Liz says before Chris can say anything, I look at her confused before I say "No? What picture?" I ask confused. "Show her! she needs to see it!!" Chris says excitedly, I haven't seen him this excited since we filmed Winter Soldier.. As lizzie is getting a picture up on her phone she says to me, "Basically, one of the camera men who are taking pictures of the fans in the queue took a picture of this girl and- well just look-" She turns her phone to me and I instantly freeze at the picture..
"What the-" My thoughts instantly take me back to that night...
-Flashback-
October 13th 2003
"Ahhhh!" I yell as I keep trying to push, "Keep going! You got this hunny, I've got you okay.." I look up at my mom holding her hand . "I can't, I can't do this," I say relaxing, as I break down crying.. "You can do this Scarlett! Okay with me okay one more push okay!" I take a few deep breaths taking a strong grip of my mothers hand, I pull my legs so they are against my chest as I try to push again. "Aghhhhhh!" I groan as I keep pushing and pushing, "Come on.. keep pushing I can see the head!!" my midwife said. I kept pushing and pushing "AGHHH!" I scream out with one final push, "That's it!! the head is out!" Says my midwife, at this point im so sweaty and out of breath and have little energy. This baby is being born now, MY BABY. I take a few more deep breaths with my mom and get ready for one final push, "That's it baby, ready.." I nod as I take my breaths, "Push!!!!" my midwife shouts. I push and push, groaning as I can feel how hot my birth canal is and stretched it is right now. Then suddenly, I collapse when I no longer have to strain anymore. "Congratulations Miss Johansson, on a beautiful; baby girl.." the midwife says to me as she carefully hands my my precious baby girl.. WAIT GIRL! "Wait girl!!! I HAVE A GIRL?!" I ask with happy tears running down my face, I look up to my mom and say "I have a daughter," I cry in my moms arms with my sweet little angel in my arms. I lean down to my baby gently touching her nose against my own.. "I love you, my sweet little angel. Mommy loves you so so much," I hold her close to me as a nurse walks into the room.
"Congratulations Miss, you have a beautiful baby girl! Do you have a name picked out by any chance?" she asks me, I smile and look down at the angel in my arms. "Emma, her name is Emma." I say looking back up at the nurse. "That's beautiful miss, I'll leave you for some privacy now.." the nurse says walking back out the room.
"I'm so proud of you baby.. So so proud of you," she says squeezing my shoulders slightly as she kisses me on the head. "Mom can you pass me the baby blanket from my bag please?" I ask my mom, she gets up going over to my bag getting out the baby blanket I had made just for my little Emma. I am so happy, my sweet little angel.. I'm going to protect you with my life.. I think as I look at her small body.
"Hey mom, I'm going to rest for a bit and put Emma down for some sleep if that's okay?" I ask her with pleading eyes, I'm so tired; all I need is a small nap to refuel. "Of course honey, you get some rest and I'll come back later.." my mom says taking Emma out my hands and putting her in her bed, she gathers her things as I get comfortable. "Thanks mom," I say as I lay down heading to sleep..
-5 hours later-
I slowly wake up and don't see Emma and I instantly panic. My mom walks through the door, "Honey?! What's wrong?!" She says running over to me. "E-Emma's gone mom! Where is she?!" I start to raise my voice as the panic get worse and I begin to cry.. "It's okay, I'm sure the nurses probably just went to do some tests for allergies and stuff. I'll go ask the nurse at the desk, just don't panic okay.." My mom says trying to reassure me. "Yeah.. your right, but please do go ask.
My mom leaves the room and not even 15minutes later, there are police swarming the building, in my room asking the nurses on the floor question and questioning other patients. I sit crying hysterically into my moms arms, "I just want my baby back!" I sob. It's all I can say, on repeat all I say is "I want her back, I want my Emma back!" My mom is sat here trying to reassure me that they'll find her but I didn't care. I just want my baby back.
-End of Flashback-
A tear drips from my eye as I remember my sweet little girl who was taken from me 17 years ago today. I still don't know anything, if she's still alive or if she's.. I have nothing! It would be her 17th birthday today.. All the years I've missed of my baby's life. All the years STOLEN from me from some selfish man or woman. "Scar.." I'm pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of Lizzie and Chris' voices.
I wipe the tears away from my eyes and look at them both, "hm?" I ask them. "We know you miss her.." they both look at me with sad smiles, I look away from them and look back at the picture again.
"What am I looking at?" I ask Lizzie, she smiles at me laughing. "That's a girl who is in the fan line! Looks like we finally found your doppelgänger!" Chris says chuckling to himself, she does look like me when I was younger in all honesty. "I don't see it," I say to them, I take a sip of my water when other buzz goes off signalling it's time to go back out to meet more fans. We all grab an extra bottle of water before heading back to our tables. I put on my best smile and try to forget about the picture for the rest of the evening...
