18 Years // A.I.

Prologue

July 17, 1996 

 Third person POV-

Nurses roam around the hospital in a hurry, a couple patients cry out in pain. A tune plays all around the hospital as another baby has been brought into the world. They are streaming the news on all televisions on the 13th floor of the hospital. Mothers hold their newborn babies close as they hear what comes on the television. Mother's feeling sorry for the woman who is now talking to cops in hope of finding Victoria.

"Tiny Victoria Hemmings was less than a day old when she was taken from the St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, Australia on Tuesday night." A news anchor says with a very serious face. No emotions were showing through.

"A woman dressed as a nurse said she was taking the infant to be weighed, but carried the newborn out of the hospital and drove away with her in a car sporting a "baby on board" sticker. The woman is suspected to be Eva Donavan and that she has fled the country." His co-anchor interupts.

"This has started a worldwide amber alert for the newborn baby. If you spot a baby with blue eyes, blonde hair and birth mark on her left wrist, then please contact your local police." They man reads off the screen. His eyes now showing a look of pure sadness as he is close friends with the family.

Older brothers, Ben and Jack, of the Victoria are worried sick as they hold their baby brother close. They didn't really understand why their mom was so upset.  Liz Hemmings is crying as she has only a tiny bracelet to remind herself she indeed had another baby along with Luke. They were twins, but one was ripped from her. Andrew Hemmings is hoping they find both the baby and woman alive, so she can rot in jail for taking his little angel. He was ready to go kill her himself. After tonight he just wants to hold his family close to him and never let them go.

Police are racing around everywhere looking for the baby in the red car. Other police are checking every woman who lands with a baby. Only if they knew, that Eve was long gone and in hiding with her new baby.

Eve lost her baby and needed a new one to take home. She was ill, yet no one knew it. The baby she has cradled in her arms would never know that she was taken from her real family by her new mom. She was just staring at the bright colors. Eve had been planning this ever since she was Liz's nurse. It was a bonus that she looked just like Lilac.

Lilac Donovan would soon become Lilac Baucom and Eve was becoming a new person. She changed her looks to match her daughter even to the extreme of surgery. With a new start in life under the name of Tracy Baucom and her husband becoming Allen Baucom. He wpuld do anything to make his wife happy again, even it ir meant kidnapping a child. They had gone to major extremes of faking deaths to collect money and buying a house in United States. As the news was blaring the Amber Alert, they were making sure to keep Lilac out of public. This was a new beginning for the small family. 

They made it through just fine at the airport as they looked like a family that was sad for the family that lost their baby. They were great actors. They got away with abducting a baby and no one ever found out about what they did. Until 18 years later.
