Author's Note: Sorry, it's been a while. I am currently lagging when it comes to grades in my Psychology class, and so my parents have decided that I should spend less time on the computer and more time studying. Ergo, this is all you'll be getting for now. So then I might be able to get the next chapter up either by the time June ends or July begins. Ciao!

The Mistress was now full-term. She considered it a miracle that she even made it that far in the pregnancy, considering how Marguerite had been born around the 8th-month mark. However, she still wanted the whole thing to be over.

Now here she was, tending to an month-early birthday party for Marguerite. It was actually Warden's idea to throw this huge, overblown party for their little girl. After all, Marguerite was special in more ways than one and he expected everyone to know it. Speaking of being special, she still didn't understand why she had those dreams of Marguerite being worshipped by several dozen people. But she didn't have time to think about it as the fifty-first guest to arrive, a young androgynous brunette inmate from Missouri, came in through the door.

"Alright, when do I get my lap dance?" this inmate asked before seeing all the other cellmates, NOVA, Jailbot, Mistress, little Maggie, and the rest of the crew. "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Nooo..."

The rest of the inmates just shook their heads at this fellow.

"Let me guess: You guys were promised lap dances too?" the androgynous inmate called Lemur asked the rest of the cellmates.

The other cellmates nodded yes.

"We're not getting lap dances, are we?" Lemur asked again.

The other cellmates shook their heads again.

"It's Warden again, isn't it?" Lemur asked once more.

The other cellmates nodded yes again.

Lemur groaned and took a seat between Jaakko and a Latina inmate.

"I don't know about you, but I'm sure Warden might get his comeuppance soon." Jaakko murmured aside to Lemur.

At that moment, Warden came in, proud and mighty as he ever could be.

"Hello, my fellow inmates, wife, daughter and crew." he greeted everyone. "How are you today?"

One of the prisoners, oddly enough another Finnish boy, threw a rock at Warden. He managed to get out of the way before the rock hit Jared in the eye instead.

"Okay, so you figured out you weren't getting lap dances." Warden began to say. "Trust me. If I wasn't married, I'd be angry too."

The inmates just stared at him with annoyed looks on their faces.

"But if I was to tell you the real reason, I was afraid none of you would show." Warden continued.

"What are you talking about?" Lemur asked, starting to get pissed off.

"The truth, my friends..." Warden still continued. "...is that today is Marguerite's special day."

"That's what I don't understand." a Filipino inmate brought up. "If you wanted people to come to a little girl's party, why didn't you just invite the pedophiles?"

Everyone just stared at him with their mouths in an "O" shape.

"That's not funny." Alice remarked. "That's not funny at all."

"Um, what she said." Bruce said.

"Anyway..." Warden still continued. "I've brought you all here to celebrate Marguerite's early third birthday."

Most of the inmates proceeded to shout loudly, "WHAT?!"

"Oh, shut up and let's celebrate." Mistress butted in.

"Yeah, shut up!" Marguerite mimicked.

So the inmates did as they were told.

"What's first? What's first?" Marguerite asked her mother.

"I think we'll start entertainment right abot now." Mistress said, slightly wincing from contractions that just started.

"Momma, you okay?" Maggie asked out of concern.

"Yes, I'll be fine. It's just cramps." Mistress assured her daughter.

Damnit. Mistress thought. This'll be liking having Marguerite all over again, will it?

She then put on a poker face.

"So have you the list?" Warden asked the love of his life.

"What?" Mistress asked, confused. Then she remembered and produced a small piece of paper. "Oh, yes. Here."

She handed her spouse the paper and he took to reciting its contents aloud straight away.

"'D.L. Diamond'..." Warden was starting to read.

"Who's that?" Mistress asked curiously.

"Only the greatest self-help guru in the world!" Warden shouted excitedly.

Jared just rolled his eyes.

"Would anyone like to get the great D.L. Diamond?" Warden asked most of the crew.

No one responded. However, Warden picked Cherice to do the job.

"I don't even know this 'D.L. Diamond.'" Cherice protested.

"Okay." Warden just said. "Jared, why don't you come with her?"

"Sir, I will have you know that I've thought of Mr. Diamond as a fraud ever since I met him." Jared also protested.

"Oh, shut up, Jared!" Warden shouted.

"Shut up!" Marguerite mimicked.

"Thank you, Maggie." Warden praised his daughter. "Now Jared, please accompany your girlfriend and get D.L. Diamond now."

"Okay, fine."

Jared held Cherice's hand and they walked off to find D.L. Diamond.

"Now, D.L. Diamond should be here some time soon." Warden assured the inmates. "Until then, why don't we go ahead and...?"

Then Mistress suddenly doubled over in pain.

"AH!" Mistress shouted as the pain in her lower abdomen shot through her.

"Mistress?" Warden asked, sounding concerned.

"Oh shit! Not now! Not now!" Mistress kept saying.

The pain almost knocked her to the floor; her now wobbly legs felt like jelly.

Warden started lifting her up on her feet when Mistress felt a warm liquid splash through her legs and onto the floor. They were both terrified to see a pool of water beneath her.

"Your water just broke, didn't it?" Warden asked, still terrified.
