Boxes were scattered all over the floor, some where open and half of it's contains had spilled all over the floor. Clothes lay outside of the closet, books lay in a neat little pile in a corner. Pictures, and jewelry lay in front of a box turned on it side.

Helga lay on her bed exhausted, her hair was in a sloppy ponytail a few loose strands lay in front of her face. Her face glistened with sweat. Arnold entered the room carrying a glass of water in one hand the baby in the other.

Arnold handed Helga the water and sat besides her on the bed, where they sat silently for awhile. The silence was broken as Melissa began to cry, Arnold sighed and laid her on the bed, he quickly left the room leaving Helga with the baby.

Helga still lying on the bed glanced at the doll as she wailed her face damp with tears; Helga sighed and picked up the baby to comfort her when she got a whiff of the strong odor coming from the child. Helga gagged and dropped the baby back on the bed causing the child the scream louder.

Seconds later Arnold reenters the room with a diaper, powder, two towels and baby wipes. He threw one of the towels under the baby and the other one over his nose. Helga couldn't help but laugh, as Arnold quickly disposed of the soiled diaper clean her up and gave her fresh diaper, soon Arnold on the bed cradling Melissa as she cooed softly to sleep.

"For a doll she seems very realistic" Helga whispered.

"Yep that today's technology for ya" Arnold replied as he gently kissed the doll forehead and placed her in between him and Helga.

"Helga?" Arnold asked softly.

"What?" She said, even though she was tired she still acted so mean towards Arnold.

"Why are you mad at me? What did I do?" Arnold asked turning on his side to face Helga.

Helga stared at the ceiling, her Cerulean eyes held the look of hatred, hurt, and pain as they swirled around. The memory played in her head, she blinked and a single tear trailed down her milky white cheek, her small hand wiped it quickly away.

"Please leave" she said calmly as she stilled stared up at the ceiling.

"but-"

"GET OUT!" She yelled, Arnold scrambled to his feet and left the room in such a hurry that he left Melissa behind.

Once the door closed, Melissa began to cry again Helga began to sob and gently picked up the baby holding her close. They both laid there crying in each others arms until they both finally fell into a dreamless sleep.

Outside of the room Arnold leaned against the door he ran his fingers through his spiked hair and slide silently down the door where he rested his head on top of his knees.

"What have I done I dug myself deeper into my own grave" He mumbled.

Helga's eyes fluttered open as she heard a soft knock on the door, "come in" she said.

The door creaked open and Helga caught a whiff of what smelled like McDonald's. She sat up and saw Arnold hold up two bags of McDonald's, "dinners served" he said and grinned. Helga smile slightly and grabbed the bag. Not much as a thank you came out of her mouth.

Arnold sat at the edge of the bed awkwardly, Helga began to eat her burger and fries with making eye contact acknowledge the fact that Arnold was sitting in the same room as her.

"So what job did you get assigned?" Arnold asked as he eat a fry and sipped a little of his soda.

"House wife" Helga mumbled,

"Well I got, Physiatrists" Arnold answered not even waiting to see if Helga cared.

"Good for you" Helga said.

"Well, um, I'll you to your packing 'nite Helga" Arnold said and left before Helga could reply.
