Selena Gomez's unborn sister was to be called Scarlett

Following the sad news of her mother's miscarriage, Selena Gomez wrote this message on her Facebook wall and Twitter page yesterday (December 26):

"Belated Merry Christmas everybody.. I can't thank you enough for all of your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate every one of you.. I love you all so much and we hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas! Love, Me, Momma, Brian and our guardian angel Scarlett. God bless."

On reading the messages, Gomez's fans quickly made 'Scarlett Teefey' a Twitter trending topic.

The baby was to be the first child of Gomez's step-father, Brian Teefey, and her mother, Mandy, 35 (see photo above), who married when the singer was five years old.

Gomez cancelled a series of personal appearances and concerts this month due to her family's tragic loss.
