The widest smile spreads on her face.
"You have to do anything I say!" She says with joy, filling Leah with dread. She turned to make a break for it and cover her ears.
"Stop." Tina said with a smile, fast and loud enough that Leah couldn't ignore it. She stopped in her tracks.
"You can't go more than 10 feet away from me. Now come here." Leah began to breath heavily when she turned and walked to Tina. The woman had the biggest smile on her face, like she just got a gift she always wanted; in a way, she did. She plopped something into her mouth.
"Suck on that pacifier whenever it's in your mouth, and you can never take it out yourself. When it's not in your mouth, you will suck you thumb." Tina commanded. Leah Started sucking obediently, breathing becoming much harder with her mouth plugged up.
"Now, let's get you changed. Hold still." She picked Leah up and deposited her into the cart child seat, cooing at her.
"Tina..." She mumbled around her pacifier with shallow breaths, "Pwease don't-"

"Aww, that's so cute!" The woman squeed. Leah couldn't tell, her eyes were blurred out by tears.

"Okay, now let's give you a make-over! Make you look and act like the cute little baby you were meant to be. Arms up!" And like that, Leah was stripped of her clothing, almost not caring about it as black spots started dotting her vision. She was put in a thick diaper and onesie dress, had the make-up washed off her face, and her hair put into pig-tails. From how much Tina was cooing, Leah must look incredibly babyish. She had socks and booties put on her feet in front of a mirror, and Leah got only a glimpse of it before her vision grew too blurry to make it out. It was getting hard to think as Tina's face loomed over her, taking pictures.
"Oh my gosh, you look so precious! Oh, this is so exciting! Now that you look the part..."
