One of her hands was shackled, rendering her unable to move.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she quickly reached towards her abdomen with her free hand.

Serena narrowed her eyes. "Where's Aaron?"

"Aaron's outside. Do you want to see him?"

"Bring him in!"

Matthew, understanding the unspoken cue, pulled out a stack of papers and placed them next to Serena.
