An hour later a man carrying a really big gun escorts us both to a different room with two beds, a bathroom, a closet and a TV.

After another few hours a woman showed up loaded down with bags full of clothes and supplies.

"Oh it's the little wench that got away." She said pinching Serena's cheek. I smacked her hand away.

"I would like to formally introduce myself as Persephone Hayes. I will coordinate all of your outfits from now on."

"Has anyone ever told you that your name is very ironic." I said.

"Yes actually. My parents did it on purpose." She laughed lightly.

Serena was silent as the woman took her measurments and chose what she thought was the perfect outfit for her.

She had just finished taking my measurements when Serena asked for clothes after a 5 minute shower.

"What the fuck is this?" I gestured towards the very scanty outfit."No. There has to be something here more appropriate for her."

I started to sift through the outfits Persephone had laid out on the bed.

I found a pair of skinny jeans and a white shirt with part of the back cut out.

"There." I said.

Serena smiled. "I like this outfit better."

"Your turn." Persephone said and pushed me towards the bathroom. "I will take care of her makeup."

I only took ten minutes in the shower, feeling too anxious too relax.

I was given a simple pair of ripped jeans and a regular oversized shirt, since apparently you can't do much with a pregnant lady.

When I came back into the room Persephone was gone and Serena was sitting stiffly on the edge of the bed.

She was bent over slightly and I could see that her scalp was turning red from so much pressure.

"She told me to tell you that she left the bags in the closet with the brushes and combs in case you don't agree with her hairstyle either."

"Poor girl." I said examining the braids that were tightly woven to her scalp.

I started to unbraid them and she visibly relaxed. Once I was done she massaged her scalp gently as I searched the closet.

I found a headband with a large white flower on top of it. Perfect.

I grabbed a brush and headed back to Serena.

I brushed her hair gently. This was good practice. I was going to be a mom soon so I might as well be preparing.

I noticed she was awfully quiet as she stared at the blank TV screen.

When I put the headband on her she turned to face me. "Can I please watch the TV?"

"You don't have to ask." I scoffed. "Just don't turn it up too loud or watch it too late at night."

She sat on the floor. "Yes ma'am."

I handed her the remote and she handed it right back. "I don't know how to use it."

"You've never used a remote before?" I asked.

She shook her head. "I've never watched TV before. My Grandfather wouldn't let me because it rots our brains. But I did read to him a lot."

"Serena how can you not have seen Spongebob." I said. "Have you at least seen the disney princess movies?"
