Saying they were shocked had to be a huge understatement. Never in their lives would they had ever believed this was who they would meet. That this was the actual real-life mother of Nicole. Of the course, the Jasmine and Brett knew the mother was higher up in the social class they didn't expect her to be Scarlett Johansson. They always had a weird feeling that showed whenever she came on screen but never knew why.

 The kids were almost about to faint at the sight of who was in front of them, while Scarlett stood there smiling nervously.

It took her a few seconds but then realized the silence of the people standing outside her door must be Nicole's family. And because the lock screen on her phone was the spitting image of all of them. 

"You must be Jasmine and Brett correct?" Scarlett asked. Jasmine, who was no longer fazed, now just trying to one-up Scarlett stood straight.

"Yes, and you are Sca-" 

"YOU ARE SCARLETT JOHANSSON!" Emma said interrupting her mother. Scarlett was startled by the sudden rise of her voice but smiled anyway. "I am a huge fan. I can't believe that you are- THAT MEANS THAT NICOLE IS- Oh My God This Can't Be real!" 

"Emma please," Eric said embarrassed by his sister's actions. Although she was older she, Emma was really embarrassing when she wanted to be.

"No, it's fine." Scarlett said. "why don't you guys come in? I am sure Nicole is dying to see you." She suggested moving a little out of the way so they could come in. Jasmine walked in a was a bit nervous giving Scarlett a friendly smile. 

Scarlett led them into her house, as Emma took in every single inch of the actress's house. Scarlett walked into the stairs and called out for Nicole. It was a bit quiet in the house, with no one really knowing what to say to each other. 

"MOM! DAD!" Nicole smiled as she walked down the stairs seeing her parents. She practically jumped into their arms. Jasmine wrapped her arms around Nicole protectively. She took in everything that she has missed about her daughter. Brett released Nicole but Jasmine wouldn't let go. 

"Don't you ever leave us like that again." She whispered. 

"I am sorry. I never meant to do that. I just-" She tried to explain but the worlds just weren't coming out correctly. 

"No, you don't have to explain." She said pulling away to look at her daughter. " I missed you so much." 

"I missed you too." She smiled. Nicole looked at her sibling smiling before giving them both a quick hug. 

"Hey, shorty." He brother said. "Nice place you been staying at." He said. "Mind if we get a tour?" He asked. Nicole looked at Scarlett who nodded her head. She was trying to please them all so she would seem more qualified to be in Nicole's life. Nicole smiled and lead her siblings outside to explore the massive backyard.

Scarlett stayed in with Jasmine and Brett and smiled at them. She was trying to think of what to say because obviously, Jasmine looked as if she wanted nothing to do with her. Which would be a problem that Scarlett needs to solve now. 

"Would you care for some wine?" She asked them. Jasmine didn't respond however Brett did. 

"Yes, that would be great actually." He smiled. Scarlett nodded and led them over to her kitchen. Jasmine stayed quiet. "You have a really beautiful home, Ms. Johansson." He said. Scarlett thought that Brett was a very polite man, and was glad Nicole had some great role models. 

"Please call me Scarlett. And thank you so much. You know I wish Nicole's biological father would have been able to be here to meet you. I think you both would get along very much." She said. Brett smiled at her. 

"Oh he is...um well." He was trying to look for the right words. 

"Famous? It's okay to say it. I like what I do. And yes I would say so but um, I would rather have you meet him before I actually start telling you his life story." Scarlett laughed, as did Brett. Jasmine, however, did not as she watched Scarlett poor the wine. 

"I hope you know I am taking Nicole back," Jasmine said causing all the laughter to fade away from the room. Brett awkwardly looked down at the glass that was handed to him and Scarlett looked up at her. 

"Excuse me?" she asked trying to understand if she heard her correctly or not. From the looks of it, she was not angry, more surprised. 

"My daughter. She is coming home with me and I hope you know that." She said. Scarlett put her drink down and looked at her. 

"Of course I know you would take her home, but-" 

"No buts she is my daughter, not yours." She said sternly. Scarlett frowned and put her hands on her hips, all the while Brett sat there awkwardly not knowing what to say or do. 

"I understand you have been taking care of her for the last few years." 

"Last few years? You mean her entire freaking life? Because I have been there for her always. Where have you been? Huh? Filming your movies? Tell me was it worth it?" She asked as Brett lifted his head. 

"Jas maybe you should calm down. Yeah?" He said calmly. Jasmine sighed. 

"I am just informing her she can't keep our daughter. Couldn't you see it on her face when we showed up? She was disappointed we came. Because she spent a few days with our daughter before realizing that she was a great hum and now she wants to be around her." Jasmine said. "and she wants us to give her the permission to be around her more and more." She said. 

"Excuse but I never wanted to make you angry," Scarlett said. "But I don't appreciate you coming into my home and accusing me of things." She said. Brett closed his eyes silently praying that someone else would walk through the doors. And as if he prays were answered Nicole came running through the door, with the intents of grabbing her phone. 

"Sorry I just need to grab... Is everything alright?" She asked noticing the looks on everyone's faces. And as if to make things worse Scarlett was about to answer her when Jasmine interrupted. 

"Everything is fine. We are just explaining to her that you are coming back home forever." She said sternly. And although they never talked about it Nicole stood their kind of shocked at what her mother had to say. 

"Forever? As in you mean, I can never come back?" She said trying to understand what was happening. 

"As in we need to talk about this when we get home," Brett said before Jasmine could answer. Because he knew his wife and it would probably be an answer that no would want to hear causing either an outburst from Nicole or Scarlett. 

"I don't understand. I wanna spend more time with them." Nicole said. "I just met them and already know how much fun that we would have together. So I don't understand why you won't allow me to you know hang out with her." 

"Nicole, you have to understand that this is a very complicated situation. And I am not saying that you will never see her again. Maybe once a year."

"Once a year? Mom. I am not trying to make you upset but I don't wanna be away from either of them. At least not when I still don't really know them. I want to spend time with them." Nicole said. She was not okay with what her mother was saying and she was letting it be known. 

"We can have this discussion when we get home. Why don't you go back with your sibling tell them we need to go check into the hotel." Jasmine said. She really didn't want to argue with Nicole. Neither did Nicole so she took the time to walk away and calm down for a bit. Once she was gone Scarlett spoke up.

"I don't want to be away from her any longer." She said honestly. "I know you will be in town for the next two days so can you please think about it. I understand that she is your daughter, I gave up the right to make choices about her a long time ago. But I also know that you know what an amazing girl she is. And I just don't wanna miss out on anything else." She said very politely. Jasmine didn't respond but Brett nodded. 

"we will talk. But we best be going. The hotel check-in time is coming up." He said. "And we wanna have a conversation with Nicole if you don't mind." Brett said. "and whatever we decided we will make sure she doesn't leave without saying goodbye." 

"Thank you," Scarlett said silently. She was not happy but she wouldn't let them see it. So they both stood up and called for their kids. Nicole walked down with the small back that she had come with and walked up to Scarlett. 

"thank you for letting me stay here." She said sadly. Scarlett gave her a sad smile. 

"Hey, I will see you soon kid. Don't let that smile fade away." She said. Nicole smiled at her before giving her a quick hug. She whispered another thank you before releasing her and leaving with her family. Scarlett didn't miss the jealous look that Jasmine wore on her face as they left. And once the door closed the tears came. She wasn't gonna lose this little girl.
