Margot and her friends were now stood in front of the local shopping centre with tons of bags around them. It looked like they had shopped for the entire town. Margot was in a daze looking across the street. 

Across the street was a little shop painted mint green. The sign in front said "Little Gifts" in big red letters. There were little paw, bear and ribbon patterns on the sign backdrop and the shop had very bright and decorative exterior which drew people to it. There was a large transparent display glass which showed several baby products. Margot stared at a set of matching sleepsuits for twins. The baby blue bear patterns on the cream material drew her to the set and the matching accessories were too cute for her to ignore. Margot felt a hand on her shoulder and immediately snapped out of her daze.

"You should go get them you know" Betha said in a low but kind voice.

Margot's eyes widened in shock at Betha's voice.

Vanora chuckled. 

"We know Marge...Grayson told us before we left. We're here for you." Vanora said calmly.

Dalles was staring at Margot with a teary expression nodding to her friends' words. Soon the four girls were sniffling. The car arrived just in time and whilst the guards put the bags into the car, the four girls made their way to the tiny shop across the street. As soon as they stepped inf ront of the display glass, the four girls giggled as they pointed at the items on display. 

The four girls stepped into the shop. Fifteen minutes later, four girls came out of the shop holding bright pink bags.

The house by the lake was now bustling with four girls runnign around to put things in place.  New Jeans blasted from the in-built speakers, and four voices mixed with that from the speakers.

Asking all the time about what I should do

Four girls were singing whilst organising a house. Dalles currently held a cucumber to her mouth as a microphone. Betha and Vanora held mop sticks as they danced in tune.  Margot just stood by the fridges, laughing and placing items into the fridge. Due to her condition, Margot couldn't strain herself much. Her mental and physical health was still very fragile and she was still recuperating. 

The girls sang and danced as they set up the house. It was dinner time by the time the girls were through. The door bell dinged and Betha shot up to answer the door. Soon the seductive smell of pizza and spicy wings filled the house. The girls chatted and watched a movie as they had dinner. Betha and Vanora ended up fighting for the last piece of chicken and both girls ended up splitting the wing in two. Margot and Dalles cleaned up and all girls retired to their rooms as soon as clean up was finished. 

The four friends decided they would each take the night to rest and collect themselves individually. They would wake up the next day ready to face their new lives.

Margot stood in front of the full size mirror in her bathroom. She stared at her herself in the mirror, her scars and bruises and wounds.
