Honey, we're finally done with the party. I'm exhausted.

Me too. Look at our little angel. She's sleeping so peacefully.😃😃
The couple smiles while looking at their 3-month-old baby.
Suddenly, another car stops in front of them.
man
Stay inside. I'll check what's going on.
The man steps out of the car.
Several masked men suddenly surround him and start attacking him.
She rushes out of the car while carrying the baby.
man
Run! Take the baby and run!
Tears stream down her face as she runs with the baby.
She knows she won't be able to escape for long.
Looking around desperately, she finds a hidden corner behind some bushes and carefully places the baby there.
woman
My baby... please survive...
She kisses the baby's forehead and runs in another direction to distract the pursuers.
A gunshot echoes through the night.
Goon 1: Boss, the work is done.
None of them notice the hidden baby quietly crying in the darkness.

Veronica Carter(FL)
Oh Veronica WHAT?! I'M LATE!!
Veronica Carter(FL)
Where's my shoe?! Where's my bag?! Why does this always happen to me?!
She hurriedly changes clothes and runs outside.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Breakfast? No time!
She rushes toward college while fixing her hair.
A faint crying sound reaches her ears.
An Unexpected Responsibility
Veronica Carter(FL)
Is that... a baby?
Confused, she follows the sound.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Wait... don't tell me—
She pushes aside some bushes.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Oh my God...
There, wrapped in a blanket, lies a tiny baby.
The baby looks at her with tear-filled eyes.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Why is there a baby here?!
Veronica Carter(FL)
Who are you, little one?
The baby simply stares at her before starting
Veronica Carter(FL)
Right... what am I even saying? You're a baby. How are you supposed to answer me?
She lightly smacks her own forehead.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Seriously, Veronica...
Veronica Carter(FL)
What kind of irresponsible family leaves a baby here?
Veronica Carter(FL)
Don't cry! Don't cry! If you keep crying, I'll start crying too!😭😭
The baby continues crying.
Veronica Carter(FL)
What do I do now? Should I just leave you here? I'm already late for college...
She pauses before smacking her forehead again.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Wow. I really have no humanity, do I?
Veronica Carter(FL)
Think, Veronica. Think!
Suddenly, an idea comes to her.

Lily Carter( FL sister)
Veronica, you're making absolutely no sense.
Veronica Carter(FL)
I found a baby!
Lily Carter( FL sister)

Veronica quickly explains everything.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Stay there. I'm coming.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
So that's the baby?
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Let's go to the police station.
The officers take notes while Veronica explains everything.
police
We will file a report.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Great. Here, take the baby.
police
We will send the child to an orphanage until we find the parents.
Veronica Carter(FL)
She's too small!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
She's only a few months old.
police
Then you take care of her.
Veronica Carter(FL)
We're kids ourselves!
police
Then the orphanage is the only option.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
We will take care of the baby.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Wait, what?! How?!😥😥
police
The officer reaches for the baby.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Hey! Hey! Don't cry!
she quickly takes the baby back.
Almost instantly, the baby calms down.
police
It seems baby attached to you.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
See?
police
Fine. Miss Lily, since you're an adult and your family can provide proper care, you may keep the child temporarily. We will contact you if we find any information about the parents.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Thank you.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Lily nods.
police
Take good care of her.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
So?
Veronica Carter(FL)
We have a baby now?
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Apparently.
Veronica Carter(FL)
How are we supposed to raise a baby?
Lily Carter( FL sister)
One step at a time.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Where do we even start?
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Shopping.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Shopping?
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Diapers. Milk. Clothes. Blankets. Bottles.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Babies need THAT much stuff?!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
That's only the beginning.
Veronica Carter(FL)
I'm scared.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
You'll survive.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Why are baby clothes so tiny?!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Because babies are tiny.
Veronica Carter(FL)
This little sock is smaller than my hand!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
Focus.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Look! This teddy bear is cute!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
No, it's not.
Veronica Carter(FL)
It is now.
The baby giggles softly for the first time.
Veronica Carter(FL)
Lily! Did you hear that?!
Lily Carter( FL sister)
I did.
Veronica Carter(FL)
She laughs
Veronica Carter(FL)
That's it. She's officially my favorite person.
Lily shakes her head helplessly.
Lily Carter( FL sister)
We're doomed.
