Meredith rushed over at sound of her little boys cry. “What happened?!”
“I don’t know Aunt Meredith” Tori lied “I was just trying to tell Johnny that his pull ups were peaking out before anyone noticed. I didn’t want any of the other kids to tease him. But he just panicked and collapsed.”
Meredith looked down at her son as he lied there catatonic, tears still slowly streaming from his eyes. “Oh the poor dear is just so self conscious.” She scooped him up, resting his head on her shoulder and his legs wrapped around her. She held him tightly much like the mother of the infant held her baby, with one hand at the back of his head and the on his bottom for support. “Here baby, mommy’s got you. Oh it feels like you had an accident.”
Hearing this, Tori did her best to contain her grin. Those nearby children however were all now laughing and snickering.
There were many onlookers at the scene. Including Johnny’s old babysitter, Mrs Adler and her gorgeous daughter Cheryl.
“Is everything all right?” Cheryl asked.
“Oh yes, we’re fine. Johnny here just got a little overstimulated.”
Cheryl was a bit confused by Meredith’s response, and by the way she was holding her 19 year old son. But then she caught a glimpse of the pull ups peaking out of his shorts and thinking back to her interaction with him earlier things started to make more sense. “Is he special needs?” She asked now waking with Meredith as the headed back inside.
“Not exactly. He just has some bladder trouble and can be a little immature sometimes. But he’ll always be my special little guy. Meredith said before kissing the top of Johnny’s head.
Johnny head was staring to clear allowing to think more clearly as he heard this and realized everything that was going on. He was mortified and started to squirm but his mom just held him tighter and told him to hold still. He was panicked but also frozen and the three of them ascended the stairs.
They approached his bedroom and Cheryl asked Meredith if she needed any help. As his mommy graciously accepted the offer Johnny cried out “Noooooooo!”
But she swatted his soggy tushy and told him “Shush, you need help changing right now and don’t need to be embarrassed. I’ve been helping you with this your whole life. And as a matter of fact so has Cheryl’s mommy”
Johnny couldn’t believe what was happening. He was lied on his bed and he just covered his face in his hands, humiliated and defeated. He could hear the two women chit chatting and as went to work. He felt his shorts being pulled off revealing his soggy shame. Next the sides of his pull up were ripped and it was pulled away like a real diaper. His small pp was exposed and his diaper was being changed by his mommy as if he were a toddler right in front of this beautiful woman he’d just met.
“Cheryl can you hand me the baby wipes” were the next words he heard. And soon she was wiping him down before she instructed him to stand. Johnny did as he was told having heard these commands thousands of times. Next came “arms up” and he put them in the air so his shirt could be taken off, which now left him completely naked. Next like clockwork came “okay now step in” and Johnny stepped one foot at a time into the fresh pull up being held out in front of him. But wait. Something sounded…different. Johnny actually looked down and it was Cheryl, not his mother sliding his new pull ups into place. He wished he would just disappear. His mother was coming back over to him from his dresser with a fresh set of childish pajamas.
“I think you’ll feel much better after a nap sweetheart.” She said to him.
Johnny wanted to protest but the thought of going back outside to face all those people was truly a nightmare so he complied and followed similar instructions as the ladies dressed him in his pajamas before laying him down and tucking him in.
“Get some rest sweetheart.” Meredith said as she kissed her son on the cheek. She and Cheryl then headed out the door, not before flipped the lights switch off. This triggered Johnny’s nightlight to turn on.
Johnny winced hoping the door closed before Cheryl would notice it. But then again, “What difference does it make?” He thought pouting about how infantile he’d been treated in front of her. With all the stress of these afternoons events it didn’t take long for him to drift off to sleep.
