Where are you going S.J

Scarlett Johansson x daughter!reader

Summary: Rose found out R was sick and prevents R from going to school before calling for backup

Your POV I got ready to leave for school as usual and mum had already gone out as she had an early shoot today. Rose was also ready to leave and I was going to drop her off at her school before heading to mine.

"Sis, are you okay? Are you going to school?" Rose asked.

"Yeah, of course I am, what are you talking about?" I replied tiredly, wondering why she was asking such a question.

"No, you're not. You're sick." Rose pushed the fact in my face.

"Only stupid will catch a cold, I'm not stupid. I don't have a cold, I'm going to school." I defended myself. Rose easily proved me wrong by stealing my bag from me when normally I would have retaliated.

She rolled her eyes and if mum was here, she would have told her off. Rose pushed me into my room and made sure I lay down. "I can get to school just fine by myself. I know the way." She said after taking my temperature. An overwhelming sense of achievement washes through me when she was so independent. I know mum did most of the work, but it was nice to see her development while growing up.

I heard the front door close and knew that Rose had left for school. The sense of tiredness hit me like a truck and I went to sleep immediately.

"I'm so sorry mummy has to leave, they called for a last minute reshoot." Mum said at my bedside. It was only the both of us, Rose wasn't in the picture yet. I think I was about her age then.

I was also sick that day but I understood that mum had to leave. I was a little sad because all I wanted was to cuddle with my mum and watch movies all day. "It's okay, I understand." I said as I sat up from bed.

"I placed the medicine on the counter so take it when you wake up again okay?" She instructed before kissing my forehead. "Mummy loves you."

"I can take care of myself. Love you too! Bye bye!" I waved at her before seeing her leave the door.

I woke up again feeling sticky all over from my sweat. I looked at the clock and it was already past 10 o'clock. I guess I did sleep for a little while.

"Do you want a towel?" Someone asked me.

"Yeah, sure." I replied, taking the towel and wiping the sweat off my face. It was a lot more refreshing but the sweats soon reappeared.

"Have you taken your medication?" She asked.

"Yeah, I took it."

I just realised I was holding a conversation with someone in my room and I didn't know who. Someone who managed to get into the house without raising the alarm. I turned my head to the side and it was Lizzie who was next to me.

"Oh, it's you." I heaved a sigh of relief that it was no stranger.

Elizabeth POVI was tending to my garden when my phone rang. I decided to let it ring for a while since it shouldn't be in any rush. After tossing aside my gloves, I noted that the phone was displaying Rose's number. She should be heading to school at this time.

Lizzie: Hey Rose, Why are you calling me? Shouldn't you be heading to school?

Rose: Aunt Lizzie! Yes, well... I was but sis got sick and she couldn't bring me to school But it's okay, I know how to go to school.

Lizzie: Y/N is sick?

Rose: Yeah, I was wondering if you could go check on her? You have the keys to our house, right? Sis can be a bit stubborn at times.

Lizzie: Yeah sure, Are you already at school?

Rose: Yes, Aunt Lizzie

Lizzie: Alright, have a fun day at school.

Rose: Thank you! Bye Aunt Lizzie

I hung up the phone and got ready to head to Scarlett's house. I really needed to have a talk with her. How was she able to bring up one child who is stubborn and another so caring and thoughtful?

Granted, Y/N grew up when Scarlett was still growing her career and so she spent most of her time alone. It wasn't easy for her to open up to anyone and she spends most of her time in her room. I guess it gave Scarlett a piece of mind as well since she knows she wouldn't be getting into trouble.

I went to the nearest pharmacy and bought things that were needed for a sick child and went to Scarlett's house. Y/N was still asleep when I reached so I went to prepare some food for her when she wakes up, knowing she'll be hungry.

Y/N finally woke up after a while, I don't think she recognised I'm here as I passed her the towel and asked if she took her medication. I see that she was dressed for school, meaning she was really intending to go to school if not for Rose stopping her. Suddenly her head snapped towards mine and said. "Oh, it's you."

"Yeah, how are you feeling? Rose told me to come."

"She meddles too much."

"She cares for you." I told her. "Did you take your temperature? How high was it?"

There was some slight hesitation in her eyes before saying. "Around 37 degree celsius (99 F)." I'm guessing it was actually closer to 38 degrees, reaching 39.

"Are you hungry? I have some soup waiting for you downstairs. I can heat it up quickly and bring it up for you. In the meantime, you can change if you want." I said, getting up from the chair next to her bed.

I was about to reach for her door handle when I heard a thud. Y/N was on the floor and I quickly rushed towards her and helped her up. "Y/N! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" I was surprised she got out of bed.

"Where are you going?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"I'm just going to the kitchen." I said.

She began crying even more hysterically and I tried hard to calm her down. "Where are you going? I missed you. Don't leave me."

I don't think she was talking about me anymore. Y/N was clinging onto me, not letting me go. So this was how she was feeling when Scarlett left her for work. I know the actress feels bad about it and there's nothing much she can do, but to think that the child was suppressing all the emotion all this time.

"Y/N..." I said quietly. "It's not 'where are you going', but 'please don't leave' isn't it? Sometimes you need to tell your mother what you want."

"Where are you going?" She continued to cry, I don't even know if she recognises that I'm not Scarlett. I sighed and carried her back to bed. She was in no position to be eating when she was in such distress.

After I calmed her down, and she went back to sleep, I pulled out my phone and called Scarlett.

Scarlett: Hey Lizzie, Is it important? I'm currently filming

Lizzie: Scarlett, Y/N is sick.

Scarlett: Is she okay? How did you know?

Lizzie: Rose called me. Do you think you can get off work early today? I have something to tell you.

Scarlett: I can try. But it would still be a couple of hours.

Lizzie: Better than nothing. See you soon.

Scarlett POVAs soon as Lizzie ended the phone, I went to talk to the director to check if we could move my scene forward and film mine first, so I could leave earlier. Thankfully, she was understanding and tried shifting the order of filming around. I thanked her and apologized to everyone for the inconvenience.

It was another three hours before I was finally free to leave and since it was close to Rose's time to get off from school, I swung by to pick her up as well.

After asking her how school was and knowing that she had a great time in school, she asked me if I knew that Y/N was sick at home and I nodded my head.

Lizzie was sitting in our living room and munching on our snacks while watching 'Room' on the television. I told Rose to run up to her room before making my way to Lizzie. "You wanted to tell me something?" I could tell from her expression that it was something serious.

She told me how Y/N was crying and was kinda delusional due to her temperature.

I didn't intentionally make her feel left out or lonely but all those little acts that I didn't take added up. During her school break, when I leave for work, Y/N would be at home alone. Sometimes I wished I was a normal parent, so I could just apply for leave and bring Y/N to travel overseas and see the world, spend some time together. I missed so much time during her childhood. But I couldn't really do that until recent years.

"Thank you for telling me Lizzie."

"I'm just going to say bye to Rose before leaving." I nodded my head and went up with her but I went to Y/N's room instead.

She was still sleeping and I didn't want to wake her up. Lizzie was right, she did intend to head to school if not for Rose stopping her. Checking her temperature with the back of my palm, it seemed like it had gone down quite a bit.

"There's no way to rewind time and to correct the mistakes I've made but if I could, I would. Who cares about making a name for yourself, when your own child is missing you. I'm everywhere on the screen, but I was unable to be there for you. Missing the time to take care of you would probably be my regret forever... I'm sorry."

"I love you. I just want you to know that you can still come to me whenever and I will hear you out." I sighed and pulled the blanket closer to her before kissing her forehead.

Lizzie was already gone and Rose was sitting at the dining table so I guess Lizzie fixed her a bit of cereal to have while waiting for me.

Your POVI sat up immediately after mum had left my room. I was awake the entire time. The stairs weren't quiet at all, especially with two women climbing the stairs. It was obvious who came into my room from the footsteps. I almost felt as if my fever went down a notch because of her words.

Rubbing my face I changed and went down because I was hungry. I haven't eaten since breakfast and I went back to sleep again when Lizzie came so I was starving.

"Are you feeling better?" Mum asked as I appeared. I nodded my head and checked if there was anything to eat. "Looking for the soup that Lizzie made? I can heat it up for you." I nodded my head again. She went to take out the pot to heat up the soup.

I was sitting at the dining table when Rose pushed me and looked towards mum. I looked at her curious as to what she was doing. She waved for me to go closer.

"She's finally back." She whispered in my ears and nudged me again closer to mum. I quietly slide out of the chair, not making a sound.

"It's-"

I slid my arms around her waist and rested my head on her back. "Please don't leave." I heard her turned off the stove and turned around so I looked up at her.

"I'm not going to leave, from now on, you're my number one priority."

"What about me?" Rose whined.

"You too, Rose."

"I love you too." I said before hugging her tighter.
