Natalie - Chapter 10 Agent Love stands at her bedside when Natalie wakes. It could have been the same day or days later — she had been so thoroughly knocked out that she didn’t know. She registers everything in a moment. She’s in the same room. Still bound. Two guards stand at the doorway. Her belly is flat. “My baby!” Natalie shouts at Agent Love. It comes out ragged and weak. She fights against the restraints. “I want to see my baby!” The sharp edges of the straps pinch into the skin of her wrists. Agent Love puts a gentle hand on Natalie’s shoulder. It’s enough. It calms her. She relaxes her arms and sobs. “Please,” she begs. “Please, Agent Love, just let me see my baby.” “Natalie, we need you to pump,” she says. Her tone is a request, not an order. It’s tender. “
