"Lillian you need to go back to LA. Your mother need to know about Mary-Anne. You can't hide forever." Natasha says as she sits next to Lillian.
Mary-Anne, Lillians 1 year old daughter sat on the floor playing with her favourite toy. A stuffed phoenix plush toy. She had a wavy mop of red hair like her mother and her eyes. Her eyes were definately from her father. The same captivating brown that lured people in. Lillian knew she was going to be a heart breaker when she grew up.
"I know. I'm just scared I guess." Lillian sighs.
Mary-Anne stands up and walks over to her mother, climbing up onto her lap. "If you're scared then why don't you hold Flare? He scares all the monsters away." She says and Lillian chuckles softly. Natasha smiles as she watches the mother and daughter.
"No. You keep Flare with you. Remember. Flare will always keep you safe. When you need help Flare will help you. Remember that." Lillian says and plants a kiss on her daughters forehead.
"Now it's your bed time. We have a big day tomorrow. We'll be packing up all of our stuff." Lillian picks up Mary-Anne and carries her off to her room.
She lays her down and closes the curtains, Mary-Annes nightlight casting a soft golden glow across the room. "Why?" She asks and Lillian tucks her in. Mary-Anne cuddles her phoenix plush close and looks up at her mother.
"Because the day after tomorrow we're moving. Then you can meet your grandma. Now go to sleep Mary-Anne. You need to be awake and ready tomorrow." Lillian smiles and walks from her daughters room, closing the door quietly behind her.
"So you definately aren't putting Mary-Anne up for adoption now are you?" Natasha smiles.
"Of course not. I don't know how I could of thought that I'd do such a thing." Lillian replies as she makes herself a cup of tea.
"I'd better book flights for the day after tomorrow." She sighs and pulls out her laptop.
She booked flights with Natasha lookin over her shoulder. "What do you think you'll do for a job when you get back?" Natasha asks and Lillian sighs in frustration.
"I'll don't know. All I really had before was ice skating but I can't go back to that." She mutters.
"What about acting? You're beautiful, talented and great at showing different emotions. I know the perfect agent for you." Natasha suggests.
"Really?" Lillian looks at her friend with a smile.
"Sure. As soon as we land in LA and go see your mother I can give him a ring." She replies and Lillian hugs her tightly.
"Thank you so much Tash. You're the best. If I become a famous actress you will be my hair, makeup and red carpet wardrobe." She says and Natasha chuckles.
"That sounds great. But believe me Lillian. It's not if you become a famous actress. It's when you become one. The acting world will love you."

"Mummy!" Mary-Anne cries and Lillian races into her daughters room to find her crying on the floor.
"Oh sweetie. What is it?" She asks as she picks up her daughter and kisses her forehead.
"I can't find Flare. He's gone." She wails and Lillians eyes widen.
"Natasha! We have an emergency!" She yells and Natasha runs in.
"What is it?" She asks quickly.
"Flare. Mary-Anne can't find him." Lillian says as she tries to sooth her daughter but to no avail.
"Don't worry darling. We'll find her before we leave." Natasha says and Mary-Anne nods, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Natasha quickly begins looking around. She searched every inch of the room until she got to under the bed. "What the?" She reaches in and pulls out Flare.
"Here he is. He was hiding in a hidden space in the wall." She says and passes Mary-Anne Flare who hugs it tightly.
"Thank you Tasha." She sniffs.
"Yes. Thank you Natasha. Now lets go. We have a plane to catch." Lillian says and they walk out of the room, leaving the keys on the table just inside the door.

When they reach LA it's dark. Natasha drove while Lillian sat in the back of the car with Maryanne fast asleep, holding Flare so tight that he looked as if he would pop. "Lillian. We're here." Natasha says as she pulls up outside a large house with a lot of security cameras.
Lillian unclips Mary-Anne carefully and she wakes up. "Where are me mummy?" She asks.
"This is grandma's place." She replies.
The door to the house opens and an older woman steps out. Natasha gets out of the car first. "Natasha? What are you doing here? It's been so long?" The woman gasps.
"I came with a surprise." Natasha smiles.
Lillian steps from the car and the woman runs over happily. "Hello mum. I want you to meet someone." Lillian smiles as she steps away and lift out Mary-Anne.
"Meet your granddaughter."

The next day
"You got me into a movie?" Lillian gasps and Natasha nods excitedly.
"Oh my god this is amazing. Thank you." Lillian hugs her friend tightly.
"You go to the studio tomorrow." She replies and the two jump around happily.
"Mummy. Why are you jumping around?" Lillian turns to see her mother walk in carrying Mary-Anne.
"Your mummy's going to be a movie star." Natasha says.
"That's brilliant Lillian." Lillians mother smiles and passes Mary-Anne to Lillian who kisses her cheek happily.

Lillian was lead of the movie and as soon as the movie was released her new agent, the one Natasha got for her was getting swamped with calls from movie directors and producers who wanted Lillian to star in their movies. She grew more and more famous, people swarming her in the streets wanting autographs, having news cameras follow her around.
She soon became the new hit movie star. Everyone wanted to know her. The more movies she starred in the more she grew in the movie industry. Mary-Anne would mostly stay with Lillians mother so she wasn't caught up in the swarms of media and paparazzi.
Lillian told everyone that Mary-Anne wasn't her born daughter but her adopted daughter to not only keep her safe but to keep the secret of what happened between her and Alex a secret also.
Six years on and she's the number 1 actress that every director and producer want in their films as the lead female and has gotten many awards from it.
She is a full blown movie star.
