Chapter 7.

Thanks again to XMFC Fanatic for reviewing again. They are well appreciated! Enjoy peeps.

I sighed as I picked up another bill that was dropped in the door slot. I needed more money. Shaw's account had plenty… for now. I would eventually run out if I kept spending it like I did. I paused, suddenly wondering why I was worrying. I could always brainwash some people into giving me money later on anyway.

I threw them down on the polished mahogany table. It sat square in the middle of a small living room, which was white with silver accents hidden in corners intricately. The mahogany furniture accented the silver well, and the polished gray kitchen finished things off nice. Her room shared the same coloring pattern, and was filled with her stuff by now. An empty room sat next to hers, with no furniture or decorations.

She walked into the empty room, looking around. She would have to set up the baby's room sometime. It's not that she didn't want to, but it didn't feel real to her yet. It still felt so weird to think of her having a baby. Having a child was never an option to her, or even a thought. Unfortunately, it was still happening. She felt her hand rise to her belly. She could feel how her belly was getting hard and round where the baby was.

She sighed. Might as well do it today. She picked up the phone and called the hotel service, asking for a limo to be ready for her in fifteen minutes. After hanging up, she glided around the room, gathering up her coat, gloves, and purse. She wondered what she would need. She knew she needed furniture, and she needed to get some diapers and toys. But clothes? She didn't even know if it was a boy or girl. How could she buy clothes for a baby of unknown gender?

She wandered outside the hotel, getting into the limo as the driver held the door open.

"Where to?"

He asked her as he got into the driver's seat.

"To the nearest furniture store."

He nodded and started off to the furniture store. She watched the stores go by outside, trying to see if there were any baby stores that looked nice. Eventually they pulled up to the furniture store. As she walked inside, she immediately noticed that it was all very nice, expensive furniture. She smiled. Of course, her baby would have the best. She walked up to the salesman, who was preaching to a couple about how great the table they were looking at was.

"Where is the baby furniture?"

He turned, looking at her a little confused. He looked down at her stomach, then to her face, which was glaring at him.

"In the back, to the right."

She raised an eyebrow and walked away from him. It almost seemed like no one could believe she would have a child. It almost bothered her, too. Did she really look that cold? She quickly brushed off that thought. She was better than all of them anyway.

She went through the furniture, precisely looking for details and matching wood. Eventually, she picked out a matching set of mahogany furniture to match her decor. The set had a crib, changing table, and dresser. Not much, but it was only a baby, right? She quickly signed to have it delivered to her apartment tomorrow. She could search for diapers and clothes another day, she decided as she got back into the limo.
