Changes. (Scarlett Johansson x daughter story)

Chapter 35

Scarlett's POV:

I wake up to silence, which is a weird thing in my house. Colin leaves me a note telling me to enjoy my day with Maddie and that he'd be home late. That's only when I remember the courses of last night.

It's only 8:30 so I'm going to give Maddie another hour or so considering she'll probably be tired out from yesterday.

Although those plans are scraped when I'm met with maddis sat at the kitchen counter eating an Apple and listening to music.

I walk in the room as quietly as I can. She quickly turns her head. Jeez! She must be a spy because I was going as quiet as I could.

 "Hey baby. Your up early?" I say greeting her whilst making myself some coffee.

 "Yeah, I went for a run" she says turning her music down.

 "I was thinking today we could do something just you and me. Rose isn't here and Colin is working" she hesitates before nodding.

 "Okay" 

I grab some snacks and tell Maddie to find a film for us to watch. She chooses little women and waits for me to come back with the food and drinks.

 "Can I have my monster drink?" She asks me. I've made a rule that Maddie can only have two energy drinks a day because if I didn't she'd be having loads. I nod and she runs off to get it. This girl is obsessed with energy drinks I swear.

We sit and watch the film. Maddie's all the way on the other side of the sofa practically. 

 "If you scoot further down the sofa, you'll fall off" I tell her. She laughs and moves towards me a bit.

We finish the film and Maddie puts on greys anatomy.

 "You ever watched this Scarlett?" 

 "Nope but I can start" she agrees and puts the first episode on.

We watch five episode before we get interrupted by Maddie's phone ringing.

She stands up and leaves the room answering it.

 Maddie's POV:

 "Hello?" 

 "Madeline! Finally! you've stopped ignoring me" oh shit! My abuela.

'hi abuela. Sorry I've been a bit busy"

 " Yeah I heard getting kicked out of school. You idiot. What was you thinking? " 

 "I know abuela. I'm sorry"

 "Should be. Stop taking after your auntie allie."

 "I know abuela. Look I've got to go. Love you see you soon."

 " yeah, yeah bye silly child"

She hangs up the phone and I go back to the living room.

 "Abuela" I tell Scarlett. She nods and un pauses the tv.

I can't help glancing over at Scarlett a few times. This is weirdly nice. I unknowingly move closer to Scarlett, sitting right next to her.

 "Season ones a bit boring, at least the start" I tell her. She nods and smiles at me.

 "Have you finished it?" 

 "Yep! This, station 19 and private practice."

 "Wow!" 

We finish watching a few more episodes before Scarlett stops to make us lunch. I help her in the kitchen and by helping I mean play my music and just sit and watch.

 "You know Maddie. You can't really mess up sandwiches" she says turning towards me with her hands on her hips. I smile innocently at her and she just laughs before putting a plate in front of me.

 "Bon appetit" she says sitting next to me. I laugh at her shit French accent before taking a bite out of my sandwich.

We spend the rest of the day just binge watching greys anatomy.

 Scarlett's POV:

It's now nearly 6pm and we're already nearly done season one.

Maddie's tiredness must be catching up to her because her head is resting on my lap and she is now fast asleep.

I carefully move some hair out of her face and place a blanket over her body.

I'm so happy that my baby is back with me and I think that we are slowly getting somewhere with our relationship. She's nearly sixteen and I can't believe I've missed so much of her life already and I'm trying really hard not to live in the past but it is so hard. I can't stop myself from feeling guilty of how much I have missed. My baby is growing up into this amazing, independent person and I only play a small part in helping that. I love this girl with all my heart and more and I cannot express how hard it was without her. It took me weeks to get out of bed and it took me months to carry on with my life when I left because I couldn't get over the fact that I wouldn't be seeing Maddie for ages. When I got in contact with her again when she was 13 and she said no to meeting me or seeing me I was heart broken. It took me months to get back to how I used to be but I was never the same when I left. There has always been a part of my life that was missing and that was Maddie. She was missing from my life!
