Everybody laughed except Emma.

ROSEMARY:

(hands hand out)

Hi, my name is Rosemary, what's yours?

Emma looked up at Ken. Ken nodded his head, yes. Emma looked back on Rosemary.

EMMA:

Emma, nice to meet you Rosemary

Rosemary slowly draws back in her hands a little bit sad but still smiled.

JOHN:

(hands hand out)

Hi, I'm John. I'm so happy that I'm going to have another big sister. I hope you're cool as Rosemary. Rosemary smiles brightly.

EMMA:

(shake John's hand)

I assure you that I'm really fun.

Emma looked at Rosemary grinning then let go of John's hand. Rosemary stopped smiling and looked scared for a moment.

CARL:

Well, let's get you settled in, little fun bug.

Carl took the suitcase from Ken and carried it to Emma's new room. Everyone followed behind. When they reached Emma's room, her face turned into disgust. The room was covered in pink and she despised the color pink.

AMY:

Doesn't it look…

EMMA:

Pink?

Ken looked at Emma shocked.

CARL:

What you don't like pink?

EMMA:

No, it's just…

(sighs) (smile)

I love it.

AMY:

(sighs)

Great, I hope you did because I spent hours decorating this.

EMMA:

It's wonderful, thanks.

AMY:

You're welcome

ROSEMARY:

Don't worry, if you want to redesign it I can help.

EMMA:

What part of 'I like it' don't you understand?

ROSEMARY:

(stop smiling)

No, it's just that you looked unhappy at first, so

EMMA:

There's no need for redesigning anything, it's fine the way it is. Especially when you're mother put in so much work for me, how could I ever not like it.

AMY:

(smiles)

Thank you Emma, I wish some people was a grateful as you.

Amy looking on Rosemary.

AMY (CONT'D)

And I know you exactly she got it from.

Amy looking at Carl.

KEN:

Well, it's time to for me to go. Emma take care.

EMMA:

By officer Ken

KEN:

Carl, can I have a chat with you outside.

CARL:

Sure, let's go.

The two walked outside

AMY:

(claps hands)

Ok, who's hungry?

JOHN AND ROSEMARY

Me!

AMY:

Alright, let's get cooking.

EMMA:

Can you give me one second? I want to take a better look at my room

AMY:

Sure, no problem meet us in the kitchen when you're finish

EMMA:

Ok

Amy and the kids went away. Emma drag her suitcase near her bed. She opened it and took out a knife. Emma dig a hole in the teddy bear's foot that she was carrying around. She push the knock up in the hole and covered it with the cottons. After doing so Emma took down the teddy bear, closed her suitcase then joined the others in the kitchen. Meanwhile Ken and Carl were having a conversation at Ken's car.

CARL:

So what do you want to talk about?

KEN:

It's about Emma.

CARL:

Yea, what about her?

KEN:

At the moment she's having a mental breakdown, so here's the card for her therapist.

(hands the card to Carl)

Please ensure that she goes there at least once every week and please, love her like your own. She needs as much love as possible to get over her parents death.

CARL:

(takes the card)

You can count on us.

KEN:

Thanks, that's really good to here.

Carl wave goodbye to Ken as he reverse and left. After a while Carl went back inside to the kitchen.

EMMA:

Where's Officer Ken, did he left?

CARL:

Yeah, it's just you and us now. So…

(shout excitedly)

let's get cooking.

Everyone jumped in excitement except Emma. She just stood in one spot staring blankly in space.

EMMA (V.O.)

I have to live with these people until the polices find a relative of mine. Oh God, this going to be so much fun.

Emma lean her head to the left and put on a psychotic evil smile.

INT. VILLA HOME-MORNING

Two weeks has pass since Emma moved in with the Millers (Carl, Amy, John and Rosemary). It took a while for her to open up to them but after a while of getting to know them Emma opened up. Everything we great, Emma was going to the therapist ever one day of the week and it look like she's getting better. Or, so everyone has come to believe. Now, it was time Emm to come out.

AMY:

Good morning, Emma. How was your sleep? Amazing as always?

EMMA:

Yes, I slept really nice as always

Carl rushed in the kitchen while talking to someone on the phone.

CARL:

I know, I know. I'll get to it as quickly as possible.

BOSS (O.S.)

You better hurry, your future position is at risk.

(Boss is forty-two years old, and a very serious and strict man)

CARL:

Yes, I know, sir, I'll hand it in by the end of the week.

Carl took the phone from his ears and hung up. He rest his hand on the table and sigh.

AMY:

Who was that, honey?

CARL:

My boss

AMY:

What did he say?

CARL:

He wants me to do a project for a big client, the bad thing is that it must be finished this week. If not then I'm fired.

(sighs)

AMY:

Wow, that sounds serious, and there's only three days left till the weekends. How are you going to pull Through?

CARL:

Don't know, a le all nighter…maybe…I have no choice at the matter, so guess that's it.

AMY:

But Carl, that's not good for your health

CARL:

Well, living on the streets with rats crawling around isn't healthy for me, you nor the kids.

AMY:

I guess…not

CARL:

I'll be in my room, please keep the kids out.

Carl kissed Amy's hand then walked off.

EMMA:

Amy

Amy turns around to Emma.

EMMA:

We can make some midnight snacks for Carl…if you like

Amy smile

AMY:

That's a great idea, let's get to it.

Amy and Emma spent the entire evening baking cookies for everyone. After they were finished, Amy walked to Carl's room to give the cookies to him.

AMY:

(knock)

Carl!

Carl, are you in there?

Carl!

Carl burst open the door down angrily.

CARL:

(yells angrily)

What, woman?

Amy was taken aback.

AMY:

Um…I just…wanted to…give you these…cookies…you know, to help you.

CARL:

(clam sigh)

Amy, Amy, Amy!

(furious)

You're a grown woman, you're supposed to be cooking good, healthy foods, but no instead you're cooking this.

Carl took the plate of cookies.

CARL (CONT'D)

(furious)

What is this, cookie, what can cookies do…

(throw down the plate)

…to a grown ass man like me.

Amy started tearing up.

AMY:

I'm sorry…I just wanted to help

CARL:

(shouts)

Help with what Amy, what can that help with? Tell me! Huh?

Amy started crying.

CARL:

As I thought, nothing.

Carl walked back inside and closed the door really hard.

Amy ran to her room sodding. While Emma looked at her running away and eating a cookie.

EMMA (V.O.)

So prophetic, I guess I have to take matters in my own hands. No one hurt my mommy. I wonder how long a sentence is for assaulting.

That night Emma planned her move to eliminate Carl. Her goal was to make Amy her mommy, and no matter what she will reach it, no matter how much people she has to get out of the way.

EMMA:

My one goal is to make Amy my mommy, and I'll stop at nothing to get that.

INT. VILLA- NIGHT

Emma went to the guestroom to see Amy.

EMMA:

Amy!

Amy wiped her tears as Emma walked in.

AMY:

Yes

EMMA:

I just wanted to see you before I went to bed. Are you okay?

AMY:

Yeah, I'm fine, sorry that Carl didn't like our cookies.

Emma sits on the bed.

EMMA:

It's ok.

A moment of silence.
