"Is there a woman in your life, Mr. Dewitt?"
"I had a wife, she died in childbirth."
"What happened to the child?"
"What child?"

I could see all the doors and what was behind all the doors. After Booker…died, I followed my dreams. I studied actual history, I met great minds through time, and I even made it to Paris. Being a time and space anomaly though, time tended to be useless to keep track of and I soon felt lonely. Trapped. I didn't even have Songbird to keep me company, no matter how much I hated him. I missed Booker more and more with each new experience and constantly visited my now small adventure with him. My father.
When one has nothing but time on their hands they usually get to thinking. I did a lot of thinking. If I'm Elizabeth, then who is Anna? What choices changed her life? I know what happens when Booker gives Anna to the Luteces, but does that have to be a constant? A choice like that, especially after I killed Booker, has to a variable. Robert and Rosalind Lutece warned me against my choice but I had to know. I needed to see what could have been and what is a life for Anna.
Inside though, I knew I was being selfish. I needed to see Booker again, he was my only friend but I wanted to see him as a father.
So I came upon the door. And behind it… I could hear a child mumbling and… I opened the door and looked behind it. I found Booker and I found Anna, but I found something else too. I watched as Booker's confused eyes opened Anna's door calling for her. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight before him. My own eyes filled with tears at the sight. 'Good morning, Booker.' The woman smiled casually as she bounced Anna in her arms.
Tears fell from my eyes as Booker ran and gathered the now confused woman and Anna in his arms. He woke up. He thought it was all a dream. A nightmare. And I would soon be forgotten. I reached out for the woman with dark hair and pale skin. Booker's wife. Anna's mother. My mother… or, at least she would have been. I cried. It wasn't fair, I shouldn't be allowed to cry. I had all this power in me and I was jealous of a baby girl. She got her happy ending, and I got my freedom, but what about the others?
The branch between Elizabeth and Anna ended here. Either Anna had a happy ending with Booker and her family or she turned into me. I was the one with all the branches, and from there Comstock. I went visiting every Elizabeth out there and trying to help them anyway I could without interfering with a constant, and then I saw the worst outcome. I had to have revenge but in doing so I made the biggest mistake of my life. Booker once said 'What if you woke up one day and didn't like the choices you made?' I finally understood what he meant. As I record this the Luteces are currently arguing about whether or not they should let me go back for Sally. They needed to mind their own business, it wasn't their choice to make. I'd save Sally and redeem myself, just like Booker did for me.
Jack put down the audio diary in confusion as he walked around Fort Frolic, this so called Elizabeth must have been splicing beyond control at that point.
AN: A small bridge theory I had behind why Elizabeth might have decided to go see the other Elizabeths in other dimensions which then leads into the Burial at Sea DLC. It's also my selfish way of giving Booker a happy ending c: (Sorry if I got the game quotes wrong by the way!)
