Roxy takes Alexa by the hand. "Come with me hun" Alexa says in a mature way. For a split second, Roxy forgets Alexa had been babying her a minute ago.
Alexa leads Roxy into a disability toilet room. This one is special. It has a full sized adult changing table.
Roxy realises what is happening. She has a changing table like that at home. But they don't often use it.
They've never used it out.
Roxy protests "What are we doing here? I might be a little... damp... but I don't need to be changed! Or if I do, I can do it by myself?".
The 'Or I can do it by myself?' was posed more as a request and question, not a statement of fact.
"Shhh... just lie down, hun, I'll take care of you". Alex pulls down her pink skirt, and puts it to one side. Once her skirt is off, she gently holds Roxy on the table so she can help calm her.
Alexa holds up a diaper. An actual diaper. Not a pad. Not a pull-up. A diaper.
Roxy is in shock. She can't believe what she's seeing.
She has only worn a diaper twice in the last year – both times only at night, and when she was sick.
Alexa knows their may be a battle ahead of her... but she needs to make sure her girlfriend is dry and protected while they're out and about.
Roxy lies there... stunned... knowing she doesn't have a choice, and that it's for the best.. but what if someone sees?
