scarlett johansson, lizzie olsen & their characters

adoption - s.j & e.o

this is a different name, i can't be bothered to go through and change the name from 'avery' to 'jess', like i did on some other chapters.

information: scarlett and lizzie are girlfriends. they're currently in the adoption centre in a room full of baby girls as they're looking to adopt. there's avery who's three years old that came from abusive parents and she doesn't trust easily. there's emily who's five months old. and a lot of other children who's older than one years old.

scarlett smiles at the younger kids that were there. as she looks at them, one child catches her attention. as she looks down at the baby who's around five months old, her eyes widened a bit. she gently picked her up, holding the girl in her arms as she walked back to her girlfriend, "she's adorable.."

lizzie looks down at the girl in scarlett's arms, smiling a bit before nodding in agreement, "she really is adorable.. do you know her name?" lizzie asks, gently gently rubbing the sleeping girl's head.

scarlett looks at the name under her crib, before looking back down at the girl. "it says her name is emily. isn't that a beautiful name, babe?" she asks as she looks back up at her.

avery watches the two of them holding emily.

as lizzie looks down at emily, she nods in agreement. "it really is.. a beautiful name for such a beautiful little girl.." lizzie smiles before looking at avery, spotting the little girl looking at them.

scarlett notices avery a soon as lizzie does. she slowly walks over to her, holding emily in her arms as she kneels down infront of her.

"hi, sweetie," scarlett says in a calm and soft tone as she looks at avery.

as scarlett kneeled down, avery seemed a bit intimidated to have somebody she doesn't know being so close to her. she shuffled back a bit, staying silent as she looks at scarlett with a blank expression.

scarlett takes notice to her being intimidated, but still remained a soft smile on her face as she spoke. "i'm scarlett, sweetheart.. and that's lizzie," she added, gesturing to her girlfriend who has walked over to where she knelt.

as lizzie knelt down beside scarlett, she smiled at avery, giving her a wave. "hi, avery," lizzie said in the same soft tone that scarlett was using, not wanting to scare the girl.

as they both introduced themselves, avery began to feel less intimidated, but still kept her guard up. she slowly nodded at lizzie's greeting before speaking in a soft voice. "hi.." she replied quietly, averting her gaze down.

scarlett smiled warmly at the little girl. "how old are you, sweetie?" she asks curiously, but keeping her tone soft and gentle.

as scarlett asked how old she was, avery looked up at them from under her eyelashes. "i'm three.." she mumbled softly, shifting a bit on the floor.

lizzie nods as she continues to smile at avery, "that's a really good age, sweetie," she replies, gently ruffling the little girl's hair.

scarlett hummed in agreement, gently running her hand through emily's hair as she still held her in her arms.

as lizzie runs her hand through avery's hair, the little girl shyly flinched; she wasn't used to somebody giving her affection. she soon relaxed again. "really...?" she asked curiously, looking at lizzie with her big brown eyes.

lizzie nodded as she kept her hand on top of the little girl's head, "yeah, really," she replies in a soft voice.

scarlett looks at the sudden flinch from avery when lizzie ran her hand through her hair, giving a slight frown before looking up at lizzie, giving her a concerned look, as if saying: what happened to this poor baby..
