First time writing a story. I will continue if people enjoy it. Here is Part 1.
Rebecca worked at PharmBeauty, a company that specializes in beauty products, at the company’s daycare. Since a lot of the employees were younger and having children the company thought it would be a good benefit to offer childcare. Becca loved her job and working with kids all day and loved that the company had this available.
She became friends with several people in the company through them dropping off their kids. In fact, she was so liked by the children that she started after hour care for some of her closer friends. It was through these friends that she was set-up with her future husband, Ryan.
Ryan had the opposite feelings when it came to children than Becca. He was far too focused in his career to spare a thought for children; at least for now. Becca had been chipping away at changing his attitude on the subject. However, Ryan was too far absorbed with his work to give any serious thought to Rebecca.
Becca and Ryan have been together for three years, the last of which they were married. When they first started dating it was like they had found the piece that was missing in each other. For whatever reason they both knew that this was the relationship that they were meant to be in for life. They trusted each other completely and had no secrets from one another. And they both loved that about one another.
Becca had just been closing for the day when one of her friends, Laura, came running up pulling two kids by the hands. “WAIT!” She screamed.
“Huh?” Becca said as she looked up from locking the gate on the daycare’s entrance. “Oh, hi Laura and Kelly and Amber. How are we all today?”
“Just a mess Becca!” Laura replied Laura. “I forgot I had a late meeting tonight and forgot to call you and ask if you were available/willing to take the kids for a while tonight? It will only be until six and I can pick them up at your place.”
“Well, I would need to check with Ryan first…” Becca replied timidly, “I think we had a date night planned.”
“I’ll tell you what, you tell that stick in the mud husband of yours that the next date night is on me.” Laura said definitively. “I know that will convince the cheapskate.”
Becca laughed at Laura’s comments. “It is true, and I think I would like something more extravagant than dinner and a movie. Tell you what, I know you are in a hurry so I will take the girls and stop by Ryan’s lab on the way out and let him know what is going on.”
“Oh my God. Thank you so much Becca!” Laura said handing the kids over to Becca “I owe you a thousand!”
“Not a problem! Really I think I have Ryan almost convinced on the kids thing.” Replied Becca. “Maybe in the next decade we will have a kid.”
“That man is so worried about kids and yet he is being so childish about this.” Laura said. “Anything I can do to help on that front let me know.” She bent down to address her kids “Kelly and Amber, I want you both to be on your best behavior. I don’t want any bad reports when I come get you.”
“Yes mom.” Kelly and Amber said in unison. And then giggled that they spoke at the same time.
Laura stood up and turned back to Becca “But maybe don’t try for twins; the whole talking at the same time stops being adorable at age 7.”
“MOM!” The girls replied.
“I am joking! But I do need to go. Thank you again!” Laura said as she left.
“Alright girls! Looks like it is you and me for a while. What should we do first?” Becca asked.
“Toys!” Said Kimberly,
“Pizza!” Said Amber.
Becca laughed at the pair’s enthusiasm. “Sounds like a perfect date! Let’s go say bye to Ryan and we will get him to pay for the pizza and then go home for all the toys.”
The girls squealed excitedly. Becca grabbed each of their hands and they all made their way to the elevator. Becca hit a button and they rode down to the correct floor. When they got to their destination the elevator pinged and stated Floor B5 Laboratory, Restricted Access. They stepped Out of the elevator and were greeted by a red-haired woman sitting behind a desk marked Reception.
“Hey Becca.” The receptionist greeted.
“Hi Gretchen. Just me and Laura’s kids. Need to see Ryan quick. Is he in his office?” Asked Becca.
“No. He has been in his lab all day working on ‘something huge’” Gretchen said using two fingers to act as air quotes.
“Can’t say that I am surprised.” Becca said. “We will just knock on his window if that is alright.”
“No problem Becca, tell him that some of us like to go home at a reasonable hour.” Gretchen said hitting a button that made the doors unlock and a loud buzzing sound.
Becca and the girls walked through two large glass doors that led down a hallway that had windows looking into laboratories on either side. Most of the lights were off or there were workers in the process of turning everything off. Becca saw Ryan in his lab working, probably not even realizing what time it is. She paused for a moment to look at him adoringly, she really did think he had the perfect mix of nerdy/sexy wearing his lab coat.
She saw that he was pouring something into a beaker and did not want to distract him while doing potentially dangerous work. She waited until he set everything down and then tapped on the glass. Ryan seemed to not notice so she tapped again slightly louder. He had made a quick glance up seeing Becca smiled and then went back to work. Becca knew that he had seen her this time and that he was just being a brat.
“Alright girls.” Becca said to Amber and Kimberly “I want you to hit the glass really fast with me. Okay! Ready? One! Two! THREE”
All the girls started hitting the glass incessantly all the while laughing. Ryan, now realizing his wife was not alone, jumped at all the noise and then looked over to see Becca grinning like a madwoman. He took his gloves off and walked over to open the door and stepped out seeing the two girls with Becca.
“Did anyone hear knocking?” Ryan said smiling “I could have sworn I heard knocking.” He then bent down on a knee to be eye level with the girls. “Now you two wouldn’t happen to know who was knocking on my window would you?”
“NO!!” The girls screamed.
“Huh.” Ryan said standing up, “Well that settles it. I am going crazy. Becca, something to explain?”
Becca laughed at Ryan interacting with the girls. He is so great with kids; ‘I don’t know why he doesn’t want one himself’ Becca thought. Maybe he doesn’t want one because he is such a big kid himself. “Just letting you know that we will have company tonight.”
“Company? COMPANY?!” Ryan said play screaming to the girls, and then turning back to Becca with a frowned lip “But I thought I was the only one to get to play with you tonight.”
“You. Are. So lucky you are cute.” Becca said pinching his cheek.
“Aww” The girls said.
“And I think you look absolutely adorable in you little lab coat.” Becca said as she grabbed the front of his coat. “Don’t you agree girls?”
“Yeah!” They shouted.
“You have competition.” Ryan said to Becca jokingly.
“Very funny.” Becca said as she stole a kiss.
“EWW!” The girls shouted.
“EWW!” Ryan shouted back.
“You all are hilarious.” She said releasing Ryan’s coat. “We are going to be getting pizza for dinner and playing with toys tonight.”
“Oh jealous!” Relpied Ryan.
“Ha, ha.” The girls sneered.
“Alright, no fighting children.” Becca addressed the three of them. “Laura will be getting the kids at six. And since she spoiled our date night, she is paying for the next one.”
“That is nice of her.” Ryan replied. “And very fortunate timing, because I am wrapped up in a breakthrough at the moment!”
“Oh, really now?” Becca inquired. “What are we innovating today?”
“Glad you asked!” Ryan said excitedly.
Becca loves how excited he gets to share things he is interested in. She remembers his mom told her once he used to bring back all the cool looking rocks he collected when he was little.
“I am on the verge of an effective anti-aging solution.” Ryan continued. “This solution will add length to the end of your DNA effectively reversing aging to a degree. It is super cool! You could put it in lotion and any wrinkle would instantly smooth out. Applied correctly it could, in theory, reverse an applied area to… well I don’t even know! But I have been working on the proper dilution all day and I think I can get it right with the concentrated mixture.”
“Interesting.” Becca said inquisitively. “So, you have the elixir of life in there?”
“I mean, I don’t mean to brag but…” Ryan trailed off.
“Alright, Frankenstein.” Becca started. “What time are you going to get home?”
“Hopefully, 10?” Ryan replied.
“Oh, come on. It’s Friday night, let Gretchen go home.” Becca said in protest.
“Okay, fine! I will wrap up as soon as I can.” Ryan said.
“Good.” Becca said. “Come on girls, let’s leave the mad scientist to his potions.”
Both girls laughed as they walked away.
‘That girl.’ Ryan thought to himself as his gaze lingered on Becca as she walked away.
Becca took both girls and got them into her van to take back to her place. A van is a necessity in her line of work, she keeps various sizes of car seats in her van for this reason. She got it shortly after Ryan and her got married. Becca thought to herself the one thing that shocked her most about her marriage was Ryan’s income. She knew he had money but didn’t know just how much. He had told her that he just didn’t have anything to spend money on so it just sort of collected.
After the marriage she sat Ryan down to go over their finances and found they could afford a very spacious house with money to spare for extensive renovations. They bought a nice three story that was close to work with plenty of space and bedrooms for if the family grows in the future.
Becca got the girls home and they ordered a pizza before the girls started begging to go down to the nursery.
“Absolutely!” Becca said enthusiastically. “Find some good toys and we can watch a movie after!”
“Okay!” The girls replied.
‘That thing was the best investment we ever made’ Becca thought to herself thinking about the nursery. The nursery, as Becca called it, was Becca’s pet project when she moved in. She knew that she was going to keep watching kids in the part time as well as her job, so she insisted Ryan let her build it.
She converted their entire basement into a playroom that any kid would be jealous of. The floor was almost entirely covered in foam puzzle flooring and where it was not there was very fluffy and soft carpet to lay and crawl on. On one side of the basement there were two giant bookshelves of games and toys and movies for all ages. In between the bookshelves was a giant screen to watch movies on.
The other side of the basement Becca had broken into separate rooms for different functions. One was a room that had some cribs in it for when she needed to put small children down for a nap. The room right next to that was a changing room with every size of diaper available as well as training pants and diapers for older bedwetters. The last room was a playpen that she could put the toddlers into without risk of them getting hurt.
Around the rest of the room were all sorts of playsets including, at Ryan’s insistence, a laboratory play set. Finally, Becca’s favorite part, was the costumes and play stage that she had set up. It had all the costumes she could possibly find in almost every size.
Becca convinced Ryan that this was a sound investment because it would allow her to take care of kids and have a place for when they have kids. Ryan was not keen on the idea, but Becca eventually wore him down. She was fairly sure the movie screen was what sold it to him. She sees him down there all the time playing games and watching movies. He tries to deny it, but she thinks that he loves it down there, he is just too serious for his own good.
The bell rang for the pizza and Becca went to bring it downstairs for them all to eat.
“Here we go! What do we want to watch?” Asked Becca.
“Frozen!” They both said.
“Good choice!” Becca stated as she turned the movie on and grabbed a slice.
They were almost all the way through the movie when Becca heard the garage door. ‘That’s strange’ she thought as she checked her watch, ‘it is only 5:30.’
“I’ll be right back girls. Stay put okay.”
“Okay.” They both replied.
Becca went upstairs and opened the door to the garage. She saw Ryan’s car parked, but she could not see him.
“Ryan?” She called out to him.
There was no answer. She decided to investigate thinking Ryan was playing a prank on her and walked over to his car. However, she found it to be empty. ‘What is going on?’ Becca thought getting slightly concerned. She walked back inside and saw that there was a light on in the upstairs bedroom.
“Ryan?” Becca called again as she walked up the stairs. “Ryan are you home?”
She walked to the top of the stairs and found that Ryan had left his clothes in the hallway, which was not like him. “Ryan are you alright?” Becca asked.
“I am fine Becca, just got really tired when I was at work. I think I am coming down with something.” Ryan replied.
“Oh, you poor baby.” Becca said as she walked over to him and put her hand on his forehead. Since they have been married neither of them had been sick. “What can I do for you?”
“Nothing really. I just am tired, so I am going to go to bed early. Sorry for our date night.” Ryan said.
“Don’t you apologize” Becca said, “You just focus on getting better.”
Becca stood up and walked to the door and turned off the lights. “I’ll be back to check on you after the girls leave.”
Becca returned to the girls to find them just as she left them, and they finished the movie together. “Alright girls we have twenty more minutes until you mom gets here. What do you want to play?”
“Games!” Kimberly said.
“Dress up!” Amber said.
“Oh yeah, let’s do dress up!” Kimberly replied.
“You guys have the best ideas!” said Becca as she stood up and walked over to the stage with all the costumes. “Should I be a pirate? Arrgh! Or a princess? Blush! Or I could be like Ryan and be a scientist. Work, work, science, science.”
Both the girls were giggling at Becca’s antics. Who should we let pick first? “Me! Me!” They shouted.
“Okay! We have plenty of costumes. You pick yours and decide one for me. Kimberly chose to be the pirate and Amber chose the scientist. They picked the princess outfit for Becca. They played with each other and lost track of time only to hear the doorbell ring. “Oh no girls! We need to get upstairs! Your mom is here!”
They all raced upstairs before taking their costumes off and ran to the door where Becca opened it to find Laura.
“You all seem to be having fun.” Laura said referring to Becca being dressed like a princess.
“Oh, yes. They picked it out for me.” Becca said.
“Well, it looks beautiful. Girls, please take of your costumes and go to the car.”
“Thank you!” Becca replied. “Girls you can just leave your costumes here and I will put them away later.”
“Okay!” they said as they took their costumes off and went out to the car.
“Thank you again, Becca.” Laura said. “You really saved me tonight.”
“Like I said any time.” Becca replied. “Ryan is up in bed with some kind of bug anyway.”
“I told him he would work himself sick eventually. He needs a vacation. Seriously try to get him to take some time off.” Laura said.
“I think you might be right.” Replied Becca. “We’ll see if I can convince him. Wish me luck.”
“Good luck.” Said Laura as she left.
Becca shut the door behind her friend and made her way up to Ryan picking up his clothes along the way. She cracked the door slowly to not wake him and heard him snoring. She didn’t want to wake him, so she left him to sleep and went downstairs to enjoy the night to herself. She went to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of wine. Thinking to herself how nice it would be to have her home filled with some children of her own. She smiled to herself and to a big sip from her glass.
The next morning Becca awoke finding that she had fallen asleep on the couch. ‘I must have been out of it’ she thought to herself. She stood up and stretched and then remembered Ryan. She walked up the stairs and into the bedroom to find it empty.
She saw light coming from under the bathroom door. “Ryan? Are you alright?”
“Fine.” A high pitch voiced responded followed by a forced low pitch “Fine.”
“Alright…” Becca replied hesitantly. “I am going to go for a run then and we’ll get breakfast when I get back.”
There was no response so Becca took that as an affirmative. She quickly changed into some leggings, sports bra and a tank and went out for her run. She was in a good mood and decided to listen to something upbeat for her run. After a little over an hour, she returned home glistening from a light sweat, checking her watch. ‘Not a bad time’ she thought. “Ryan, I am home.” Becca called.
She walked in the front door and found her house was a disaster. It was as though someone let a toddler loose unsupervised. She saw that the drawers and lower cabinets in the kitchen had been pulled or attempted to be pulled. In the other room she saw clothes strown about and the girl’s costumes had been moved. On the staircase she saw that there was a tiny puddle on the staircase halfway up with it dribbling up the stairs.
“What the hell happened here?!? Hello! Ryan?” Becca called. She heard a rustling from the upstairs bedroom.
Becca opened the bedroom door and saw a toddler no more than two trying to put clothes on but failing. All the clothes they were trying to put on were at least way to big. “Hello? Who are you?” Becca said softly.
The child jumped at the realization that there was someone there. It looked up at Becca and started crying hysterically. Becca instinctively ran over to pick up and soothe the child.
“Shh, shh, shh. It is alright. It’s alright.” Becca said picking up the child and bouncing it on her hip saying in a sing song voice, “Ryan? Where are you? Why is there a baby here?”
“I… am… not. Am. Not a baby.” The child said starting to come down from its fit.
“Huh?” Becca said pulling the child away from her chest. “Was that you talking little one?”
“Becca! It’s me! It’s Ryan!” Ryan said.
“Uhh… Uhh…” Becca said as she was bouncing Ryan on her hip. “I don’t know what to do with this information.”
“You can start by putting me down…” Ryan said annoyed at Becca’s bouncing.
“Oh, right. Sorry. It’s just, well you started to cry, and I just reacted.” Becca said.
Ryan held a hand up “It’s okay Becca. I don’t know what came over me I just saw you and I was relieved someone was here and I was happy it was you and… and…” He started to tear up again.
“And you don’t know what came over you?” Becca said putting her hands on her hips.
“Yeah. Yes. How did you know?” Asked Ryan.
“I deal with fussy babies all day. I know how they get when they are overwhelmed.” Becca answered. “But how did you get like this?”
Ryan sighed and put his hand on his head. Then started to walk over to a pile of clothes on the floor, he picked up the white lab coat that the girls had played with the night before and started to put it on. “It is pretty embarrassing” Ryan started as he put his arms into the coat that was obviously too big for him. “But last night I spilled the solution I was working with on my arm. I knew that it was going to have some adverse effects, so I came home before they started. I thought that it would be localized to only my arm, but it appears that in the concentrated state it affected my entire body.”
Becca could not help but laugh at this spectacle. Here was her genius of a husband looking like a toddler trying to be a big person, walking around putting on his lab coat and giving a lecture. He was just the cutest. “Alright then Mr. Baby Husband. How do we change that cute lil’ butt back into my big strong hubby?” She said mockingly picking up Ryan and carrying him over to the bed tickling him.
“Stop. Becca. Please. I am, going. To.” Ryan said between laughing. “Gasp!”
Ryan looked down and realized that he had just peed all over the jacket he had put on, the bed and Becca. He pushed away from Becca, stood on the bed and started to breath heavy as his eyes were getting red. Becca knew this was the start of another tantrum. “Hey now. It’s okay, I’m sorry I was tickling you. It was my fault not yours.” Becca said as she dabbed Ryan’s cheek to wipe away the tear. “Let us get you cleaned up. How does that sound?”
“Yes. Hem. Hem.” Ryan Said clearing his throat as though he wasn’t just seconds away from crying after just peeing himself. “I was just about to suggest that.”
“Of course you were!” Becca said as she tapped Ryan’s nose.
“Becca, please. That is so infantile. I am a grown man.”
“I know you are, but you are just so cute!” Becca said as she once again picked Ryan up off the bed and walked with him on her hip as they made their way towards the bathroom. “Now let’s get you out of those icky wet clothes.”
“Are you actually enjoying this?” Ryan asked in a shocked accusation.
“Hmm.” Becca said her smile beaming. “My stick in the mud husband turned himself into an itty bitty baby and now he keeps having tewmper tantwums.”
“That is not what happened! Becca this isn’t funny I keep wet…” Ryan trailed off.
“You keep what Baby Husband?”
“Nothing Becca.” Ryan signed. “Can we please just take a shower?”
“I can yes. But you my little man are getting a nice bath to get him all clean.”
“Becca come on! I haven’t gotten a bath since I can remember, and I need to get to the lab today. I need the formula to calculate how long I will be like this!” Ryan said in protest.
“All I am hearing is blah, blah, blah I made myself into a baby. Blah, blah, blah I will change back. Blah, blah, blah Becca me want a bathy!” Becca said.
“That is not what I said or what I sound like. This is sewrious!” Ryan replied.
“This is sewrious huh? I know it is serious, but you said we can change you back, so I am going to have some fun and you are hopefully going to relax.” Becca said as she put Ryan into the bathtub. “Now stay here while I get some toys, we only have big boy toys up here and not wittle baby toys for wittle Ry-Ry.”
She tickled under Ryan’s chin causing him to giggle. “Now you stay put while I go downstairs and get some more fun toys for you.” She started the water and then stood to leave. “Normally I wouldn’t leave such little kids alone with the water on, but I think you can manage right?”
Ryan gave a big smile.
“You’re playing way into that cute card. Aren’t I the one that can get away with anything with a cute smile?” Becca said.
“Well, you said I was adorable, so I need to take advantage of it!” Ryan Replied
Becca laughed as she walked out the door into the bedroom. She looked down at her pants and tank top, it was drenched with pee curtesy of her husband. She was used to having kids peed on her, it came with the job, so she was not mad or grossed out more so amused by her husband’s predicament. It was funnier knowing that her husband ‘Mr. Genius’ turned himself into a baby of his own accord. ‘Not so smart this time’ Becca thought to herself. She was concerned of course, but she likes that she can tease him every now and again.
He pretends like he hates it, but Becca knows that deep down Ryan loved being teased by her. Something about being made fun of a little excites him. So, she takes advantage when she can. Down in the nursery Becca grabbed some bath toys from the toddler area to bring for Ryan to play with.
She walked past the changing room and thought about grabbing something to change Ryan into. Quickly shaking her head, ‘he would kill me’, she thought as she looked at the stacks of diapers. ‘But still, he did have one accident and I am fairly certain he had another one on the stairs. Just in case’ she thought as she grabbed a pair of 2T easy ups with a picture of Thomas the Tank Engine on the front. ‘Maybe he won’t get too mad at these.’ Looking at them she thought to herself ‘these might even be to big for Ryan right now.’
She walked back upstairs with all the toys seeing her destroyed kitchen and passing the puddle on the staircase again. She made her way through the bedroom and heard crazy laughing and splashing. She looks in to find Ryan splashing the water all over and laughing at himself. “What do you think you are doing mister?” Becca play asked.
“Nothing!” Ryan replied. “It was just fun to play.”
Becca looked at Ryan lovingly, he really was the cutest. “Well, I don’t want to interrupt your play time, but I found some more things to play with!”
“YEEESSS!” Ryan screamed as he jumped up and down.
“Here is Mr. Frog! And Here is Mrs. Elephant!” Becca was saying as she was introducing the toys. She loved that Ryan seemed to be letting go and was finally letting some stress out. ‘If I knew turning him into a baby would relax him this much, I would have done it ages ago’ Becca thought smiling at the notion. She grabbed her phone and took several pictures while Ryan was not looking.
“Now my little fire hydrant. You got me all full of your pee pee. EWW!” Becca said.
“I’m sorry.” Ryan said pouting thinking he did something wrong.
“Not sorry! Eww!” She said as she pulled off her tank top. “Come on, Eww!”
“Eww!” Ryan screamed back with glee.
“That’s right! Eww! Now I need to take all my clothes off and get naked with my Baby Husband! Is that what you wanted all along?!” Becca asked jokingly lightening the mood as she slipped off her leggings then her sports bra.
“Maybe…” Ryan replied slyly.
“I knew it.” Becca said winking at Ryan. “Now make some room little man I am going to shower.”
Becca started the shower and stepped into the tub and picked Ryan up with her under the water. Ryan was carrying Mr. Frog with him as she picked him up. “Now it is my turn to get all nice and clean.”
Becca rinsed her hair and Ryan tried to help by patting her body with his frog. Becca looked down at Ryan sitting on her hip. ‘God! He is so freaking adorable!’ she thought as she was petting her. I love him so much.
“Watcha doing baby?” Becca asked.
“Helpin’” Ryan replied.
“Well, aren’t you the little helper?” Becca cooed at Ryan.
“Yeah!” Ryan squealed.
Becca could not help herself she kissed him on his forehead and his right cheek and then his left check and then all over saying, “You, KISS Are, KISS So, KISS Cute!” And then finished by blowing a raspberry on Ryan’s tummy.
“Stop it Becca!” Ryan pouted as he dropped his frog. “I am not a baby. I want to get down now. I am not having fun anymore.”
Disappointed Becca put him down and finished her shower. Ryan stood looking out of the shower looking bored and angry while Becca finished getting clean. Becca felt bad, she did not mean to make Ryan feel bad, she had just gotten carried away. He was just so adorable she could not help herself. “Alright Ryan, I am sorry to upset you are you ready to get out now?”
“Yes please…” Ryan said putting as Becca picked him up and stepped out of the shower together.
Becca put Ryan on the floor and put a towel with a frog hood she had brought up with her over his head. She turned around to grab her own towel. “What is that?!?” Ryan screamed.
Becca quickly turned around thinking something was wrong. She saw Ryan pointing at the training diaper she had brought up with her. Oh no. She had wished he would not have found those. “I am not wearing those!” Ryan said. “I don’t need to wear a diaper like one of your stupid babies.”
“Hey!” Becca snapped. “First off they are not stupid, they are babies and toddlers and can’t help themselves. Second, they are learning, do you even remember what it was like to struggle with something? And finally, I brought them up to be safe. Because you not only peed on the bed, but you also peed on the staircase, didn’t you?”
Ryan looked down at his feet. He knew that he had really made Becca mad. She hates it when he calls anyone stupid. He understands why, he used to be very boastful about his intelligence and Becca helped him to work through that. “I may have had an accident… but only because I got scared I was going to fall.”
“And what happened in the kitchen?” Becca asked Ryan looking sternly at him.
“I couldn’t find clothes or you or anything and I didn’t know what to do… so I…” Ryan trailed off again.
“So, you what? Go on tell me.” Becca pressed.
Ryan continued “I had a little freak out.” – Tantrum – Becca interjected.
“I had a little freak out and I didn’t know what to do and so I. Well, I did not handle it very well.” Ryan said.
“Ryan, dear, who has little ‘freak outs’ as you call them when they can’t control their emotions?”
Ryan remained quiet for a moment looking at the floor. “I’m not wearing a diaper.”
“Fine, but one little hiccup and I am putting that cute little butt into a diaper so fast you won’t be able to blink.”
Ryan was not sure if Becca was being serious or not, but when he looked at Becca she had the I mean business face and Ryan knew that she had made up her mind. He did not want to be put in a diaper, worst of all to be diapered by his wife.
“I picked out some clothes that I thought would fit you.” Becca said with a big smile handing over a tiny sailor suit to Ryan.
“I absolutely refuse to wear this.” Ryan said definitively.
“Oh, come on you will be so cute! I just want to get one picture!”
“No way!” Ryan replied. “And no pictures! Why are you even thinking of taking pictures?! That would be so mortifying if they got out!” Ryan replied.
“I need it for your baby book silly!” Becca teased Ryan. “And no one is going to see the pictures. Even if they do, they won’t be able to tell it is you silly.”
“No, no, no there is no baby book and no picture and no sailor suit!”
“Okay Baby Husband I’ll tell you what. Either you put on the sailor suit and I get my picture, or I put you in the sailor suit and I’ll make you wear it through breakfast.”
“Hmm. Nope. I am not a baby; I do not need diapers and I am perfectly capable of picking out my own clothes. I am an adult thank you very much, and I think you have carried on this charade long enough.” Ryan stuck his tongue out at Becca. He knew that she could not make him do anything he didn’t want to. He was an adult after all.
“You think so huh?” Becca asked with a devilish grin on her face.
“I know so.” Ryan replied.
“Alright then, big boy, go pick out some clothes. I will sit right on the bed and wait for you.” Becca said knowing how stubborn and defiant Ryan can get when he gets worked up.
Ryan puffed and walked out of the bathroom in nothing but his birthday suit. Becca giggled as she watched her little streaker of a husband walk into the closet. Ryan ignored her and continued to the closet. When he got there, he realized that he may have made a mistake. Everything looked huge to Ryan, he could not even reach the rail where his clothes were hanging.
Ryan felt himself getting overwhelmed again and started getting fussy. Becca seeing this happened smirked and walked over to her husband, “Need some help?” She asked.
Ryan looked down at his feet to avoid making eye contact with Becca, “none sniff of my sniff clothes will fit.” He said fighting back tears.
Becca bent down and picked up her toddler of a husband and brought him over to the bed and sat down putting him on her lap, “That is why I am here Ryan. I know this is hard and weird and you are used to doing everything on your own. But for right now and during the time you are stuck this way you are going to need to let me help you.”
Ryan continued to sniff his tears back but was calming down. He looked up to Becca his eyes watery, Becca raised a finger to wipe a tear away from Ryan’s eye. “And you know what will make it easier? You just relaxing and thinking of this as some MUCH-needed time off.” Said Becca.
Ryan looked up at Becca in confusion.
“Yes, you need some time off and I saw you having so much fun in the bath a second ago that I know if you let yourself you will be able to relax and maybe even have some fun.” Becca continued. “So do you think you can work with me a little here and we can figure this out together?”
Ryan looked at his wife lovingly as she was explaining this to him. And he knew she was right. He could not do almost anything by himself in his current state so he would need to rely on Becca.
“Alright. Okay.” Ryan said thinking “but I want ground rules.”
Becca frowned slightly in confusion back at Ryan but gestured for him to continue saying, “Oaky. What are your ground rules?”
Ryan began laying out his rules:
“First, I am an adult and wish to be treated as one so we will need to go shopping to get me some more adequate clothing.
Second, I want no one to find out about this. I would be a laughingstock of my whole field if anyone found out I made such a mistake.
Third, since I obviously cannot drive in my current state you will need to take me to where I need to go when I need to.
Forth, I am too short to reach the counters or bathroom so you will need to get stepping stools or pick me up when I need to do something.
Finally, no sailor suit!”
Becca looked down at her naked baby husband making demands like a tiny tyrant. Becca knew that Ryan could get bossy and when he is uncomfortable in a situation, he would usually try to take control. She loved that about him, but in this case, he just sounded like a demanding petulant infant.
“Okay then, Baby Husband.” Becca said as she stood up and set Ryan down on the bed on his back. “Here are how these ground rules are going to actually work:
First, yes you are an adult, and I will try to be mindful of that. However, you clearly are not able to control your emotions like an adult so if you want to be a big boy then act like a big boy, but if you are behaving like a baby then you are going to be treated appropriately. We have plenty of clothes here that will fit you that I use for the kids. If you do not want to wear those, we can go shopping but I am picking them out. I have wanted to update your wardrobe for a while.
Second, it will be our secret. When we are at home by ourselves you are free to act however you want. But when we are out in public or have company over you will need to act the part. Do you understand what that means?”
Ryan, still laying on his back looking at Becca, did not understand what she meant and shook his head no.
Becca continued:
“That means that when we are out in public or have company over you will need to act the part of a toddler. Unless you want people to find out.”
Ryan’s expression turned scared and quickly shook his head no.
Becca continued:
“That is what I thought. Third, if you ask nicely and are well behaved, I might drive you but it will be on my schedule not yours.
Fourth, again if you ask nicely, I will help you, but if you are being like you are now and making demands then you can be on your own all you like.
And finally, yes sailor suit!”
Becca ran to the bathroom while Ryan tried to get up. But he was not fast enough, and Becca quickly had Ryan’s pants and shirt on. She then brought Ryan to stand up on the floor and finished the ensemble with a matching hat. Ryan was surprised at how efficiently and quickly he got Ryan changed. He was even trying to squirm away, and she still managed. All this while still wearing only a towel.
Ryan looked at himself in the mirror while Becca went to grab her phone. He had to admit that he did look pretty darn cute; but he shook his head at the thought. “Becca!” He screamed. “Hurry up and take your picture I want food! And why don’t I have underwear???”
Becca laughed at her husband. ‘After all this fuss and now he is demanding food. Boy he can be a little brat sometimes.’ She thought. ‘I wonder how her mother handled him?’
“I am coming! And you don’t have underwear because most kids your size are either still in diapers or are just starting potty training and since you won’t wear the diaper I brought for you, you get to go commando.” Becca said returning with her phone “okay, now say cheese baby!”
“Cheese!” Ryan smiled with a goofy grin knowing that she would not stop till she got a good picture, so might as well get it over with.
“Perfect!” Becca said. “You are so freaking cute it should be illegal. Now, can I trust you to behave while I get dressed?”
Ryan shook his head yes and Becca went to the closet. She picked out a nice flowing white dress with a yellow flower pattern. Becca was saving this dress for after she had a child and was going to take them on their first outing, but she thought that it was appropriate for this occasion.
“Alright Mr. Man let’s get some food.” Becca naturally reached out her hand to Ryan intending for him to grab it.
Ryan pushed her hand away. “I don’t need to hold your hand. I am an adult remember?”
“Oh, I am sorry Ryan! You just look so much like one of my kids that I just did it out of habit. Let’s go downstairs.”
Becca walked in halfway down the stairs before she turned around to see her husband trying to descend them one at a time. He balanced his arms and then dangled his feet till he touched the next step. Becca was swooning at the sight of this. Ryan looked so cute trying to get down the stairs on his own. But Becca did not want her tiny husband to get hurt, so she walked back up the stairs and picked him up to carry the rest of the way down.
“Hey!” Ryan said in protest.
“Remember what I said.” Replied Becca “I will treat you how you are acting and need to be treated.”
“But I am not acting like a baby!” Ryan replied.
“You are too little to walk down the stairs yourself and you needed help, so I treated you how you needed to be treated. Now enough back talk or I will pop a pacifier into that mouth.”
Ryan instantly became quiet.
“That is what I thought.” Said Becca, “now come on let’s fill our bellies!”
Becca put Ryan down at the kitchen table and went to pour some orange juice for Ryan and herself. Not thinking she poured them both into a regular glass. She put it on the table for Ryan and went to prepare the other food, pancakes, eggs and bacon. “Ryan, how many pancakes do you want?” She asked turning back to see Ryan “Oh, my goodness!” She shrieked.
Becca had lunged toward the table and grabbed the glass of orange juice from Ryan just as he was about to spill it all over himself, still managing to spill quite a lot before she made it over to him. “What are you doing?” Ryan asked. “I am thirsty.”
“You were about to spill all over yourself.” Replied Becca.
“No, I wasn’t. I had everything under control.”
“Baby, you are not strong enough to lift a big boy glass. It is my fault I should have realized.” Becca was talking to Ryan as she went into the cabinet and pulled out a sippy cup and poured the juice into it before handing it back to Ryan and wiping up his spill. “Here drink from this for now. That way you won’t spill. I will just make you one pancake for now.”
Ryan didn’t like the way that Becca referred to the glass as a big boy glass because he was a big boy, just doesn’t look like it. But Ryan really was thirsty. He started drinking from the sippy cup. ‘This really is much easier’ he thought. Becca was speeding through breakfast and was just finishing up. She drew a smiley face on Ryan’s pancake before giving it to him.
Ryan looked up at his plate and tried to grab it. Becca was not going to say anything because she wanted Ryan to ask for help if he needed it. She would step in if he were about to hurt himself, but she felt he needed to see his limitations. Ryan struggled for a bit trying to reach the silverware, but to no avail. Defeated Ryan asks, “Becca, will you help me?”
“Of course!” Becca replied eagerly, “All you need to do is ask.”
Becca walked down to the basement and returned shortly with a booster seat/highchair combo that is used to convert a normal chair into a highchair. Ryan watched her as she brought it up and sighed, he knew that he needed it and was happy she did not go with just a highchair.
“Thank you.” Ryan mumbled as Becca placed him into his new chair, buckling him in. “Why are you buckling it?”
“Just a habit, sorry Ryan. You can unbuckle it if you want to or just leave it and I will take you out after.”
Ryan just mumbled ‘it’s fine’ to Becca before looking at his plate. He had seen that she had made his pancakes into a face and couldn’t help but smile. He always liked it when his food was made special by Becca. Ryan was struggling with his silverware to eat; they were too big and heavy for his hands to hold. Becca looked up “Shoot, I am sorry Ryan.” Becca said noticing he was struggling; she grabbed some smaller silverware intended for children from the drawer and walked around to Ryan. “Here use these.”
Ryan looked at the silverware he was handed. It was pink and had pictures of Minnie Mouse on them. Ryan looked up and was about to complain when Becca shot him the “DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM?” look so he just went to eating. Becca was eating her breakfast normally while scrolling on her phone looking at social media occasionally looking up to Ryan. Ryan was picking at his not paying attention to what Becca was doing.
“You need to eat baby. You said you were hungry.” Becca said.
“I know!” replied Ryan “I had some I am just not as hungry as I thought I was.”
“Well, have at least three more big bites.” Becca stated speaking to Ryan as though was the toddler he looked to be, and added jokingly, “we want you to grow up big and strong!”
Ryan smiled at the comment and took another bite. The reason he was not eating was because his stomach was not feeling well. He waited for the feeling to pass and then tried to take another bite. But when he put the food in his mouth the feeling came back with a vengeance. Ryan needed to go to the bathroom NOW. He spit out his food and reached down to try to undo the buckle.
“Ryan!” Becca shouted at him. “You do not just spit your food out that is icky.” She then saw how much he was squirming, “Ryan, do you need to go potty?”
“YES!” Ryan shouted still struggling with the buckle.
“Oh!” Becca replied standing up and making her way quickly over to Ryan.
But it was too late as soon as Becca stood up Ryan could not hold it anymore and let go a squishy mess into the seat of his pants. Ryan felt instant relief and tried to fight it initially, but inevitably gave up the effort. He let all the warm gooey, sloppy mess squish all over inside his pants. Going up his back slightly and covering the back of his testacies with poop. After what felt like an eternity to Ryan, he felt himself finally stopping. He looked up and saw Becca standing over him with a concerned and semi disappointed look on her face.
Ryan felt the relief quickly turn to embarrassment his face growing red. He felt the load in his pants squish further with every small move. It had shifted further down his pants and out the top of his waistband more and onto the booster/highchair. This was more than Ryan could take.
He started wailing his head off. Ryan’s cries turned from screaming to an inaudible high pitch squeak.
Becca knew that Ryan was in the middle of having a full-blown meltdown. She unbuckled him and carried him carefully over to the sink, making sure that as much mess as possible was contained. She started the water right away which made Ryan scream more from the cold. Becca was quick to action and moved it away to warm up. Becca laid Ryan down at the end of the sink with his back on the counter so that only his bottom half was in the sink. She expertly pulled of Ryan’s now messy pants with one hand while holding Ryan still with the other. Once his pants were off, she stood Ryan up and started to rinse his bottom with the now warm water.
As Becca was cleaning Ryan, he started to calm down a little. “Sit down please.” Becca commanded Ryan.
Ryan obeyed without question still crying. Becca removed his hat and shirt and rinsed off the rest of his back. ‘Thankfully, he did not have too big of blow out’ Becca thought as she was inspecting the damage. Once Ryan was fully clean Becca told him to wait and went downstairs to grab some items. Ryan barely paid attention since he was still very much worked up.
Becca came back with another towel, this time a pig. Along with a mat, small seat, and playpen. Becca set up the playpen and mat in the living room, placing the seat so that it faced the TV. ‘At least he won’t do much damage to that’ Becca thought as she positioned the plastic backed chair. She returned to the kitchen and wrapped Ryan in a towel before picking him up and putting him in the playpen. Normally Becca would have diapered the kid first, but she did not want to further upset him. She turned the TV on to a channel that played nursery songs and flashed bright changing colors across the screen.
Becca had quite a few tricks up her sleeve when it came to handling fussy babies. The TV and music always did the trick. Becca went back to the kitchen and started cleaning Ryan’s mess. She put Ryan’s sailor suit into a plastic bag and threw it in the trash. ‘So sad. But at least I got a picture of him in it’ she thought to herself. She grabbed some wipes and cleaned up the floor where Ryan had dripped some of his poo on his way to the sink. And then finally cleaning up the booster/highchair.
She could hear Ryan starting to calm down as she went about finishing cleaning. She picked up the dishes and saw that Ryan had barely eaten anything. ‘He can’t just eat this for breakfast,’ Becca thought as she was throwing the contents into the compost, ‘he usually has a protein shake when he is running late for work’ she continued her thought. ‘But he is too little for that right now.’ Then Becca remembered that she had some booster formula for toddlers that she would mix into the milk for some of her kids.
Becca went to the basement and grabbed the powder and brought it upstairs. She grabbed a blender bottle that Ryan usually uses and mixed milk in with the powder and shook it. Becca was about to bring the bottle over to Ryan when her eyes got a glimpse of the table. ‘Do not want another OJ mishap’ she thought. And went to get another sippy cup. Drat. Becca found that all the sippy cups she had upstairs were dirty. She did not want a huge mess to clean so she grabbed a green transition cup from the back of the closet. It was like a sippy cup but had what was essentially a bottle nipple at the top. ‘He will just have to live with it’ Becca thought as she made her way over to Ryan.
“How are you doing there little one? Cried yourself to sleep, huh?” Becca asked softly as she approached where Ryan was laying noticing he was asleep wrapped up in the pig towel.
Becca did not want to move Ryan much as she did not want to wake him and wanted to keep an eye on him. She set the bottle down in his playpen and went downstairs to grab a small pillow, a blanket, and a teddy bear. Getting back to Ryan she saw that he had switched positions and now had his head awkwardly laying on the seat. ‘Kids can really sleep anywhere, and I guess that means my husband now too’ Becca mused as she replaced the seat with a pillow and put a blanket over Ryan.
Becca went to the kitchen and filled a small container with ice and wrote on a sticky note “DRINK ME WHEN YOU WAKE UP.” She placed Ryan’s bottle in the container of ice and affixed the note to the bottle placing carefully in a place where he would see it.
Becca looked up at the clock and saw that it was 9:30. Shoot! We are so late to work. She pulled out her phone and called the office. Gretchen answered. “Hello, PharmBeauty.”
“Hey Gretchen” Becca said.
“Oh, hi Becca I was just starting to wonder why Ryan Hadn’t shown up yet.”
“Yeah…” Becca thought and made up a lie on the spot. “Ryan’s sister won a Disney Cruise and I convinced him to finally take a vacation. It was all really last minute and is why he left early yesterday.”
“That is so wonderful!” Gretchen replied. “He has really needed a vacation. How long will you both be gone for?”
Becca was looking over checking on Ryan half paying attention, “oh, I am not going anywhere. I have my hands full at here.” She laughed as she spoke referencing her new baby husband.
“You are not going with them? Why not?” Gretchen asked, “and why do you have your hands full?”
Becca panicked; she did not mean to say that. “See… There were only a few tickets for the cruise, so I told Ryan to go by himself and have fun. I… I have my hands full because I…” She looked around looking for inspiration for her lie, landing on Ryan. “I am babysitting. Yeah, it is a semi long term care thing… You will need to meet him.”
“That sounds lovely!” Gretchen replied. “How old is the baby and where are his mommy and daddy?”
Shoot! Becca froze, not knowing what to say. “He is right around…” Becca looked over to Ryan to judge what his age would be based on his size, “24 months. His mommy and daddy are doing some field work and needed to go on a dig site for an extended time. They are Ryan’s friends, he agreed to it before he knew he was going on a cruise.”
“How fun! And genuinely nice of you to be a single mommy this week!” Gretchen said.
“Yup that is me.” Becca replied dryly, “super-mommy.”
“I bet you are! I know that you are going to be great for when you and Ryan have your own! Is he talking yet? And what is his name?” Asked Gretchen.
“Oh yeah, he is a chatterbox.” Becca replied. “And his name is… Also, Ryan. Yes, he is little Ry-guy too.”
“How adorable! Well, I cannot wait to meet him I bet he is just like his uncle Ryan. Are you coming in today?”
“You have no idea how similar they are.” Becca stifled a laugh in response. “Needed to pick up a few things for Ryan, will be there in maybe a few hours. Can you call the day care and let them know what is going on? I have had two accidents and one blow out already today.”
“Oh! Yes! Of course! See you soon.” Gretchen said and hung up the phone.
Becca knew she could get Gretchen off the line if she mentioned any gross baby stuff. Gretchen loved when the babies were cute but hated them when they were smelly or wet. Becca took another look at Ryan; he was still sleeping soundly. Becca decided that she would let Ryan sleep a bit more since he probably needed a nap anyway. She went downstairs and removed a baby monitor from one of the cribs and set it up over Ryan’s playpen. She then went to the front room to read a book to pass the time while her husband enjoyed his nap.
Ryan awoke sometime later feeling a lot more well rested and refreshed than he had in a while. It was like all his negative pent-up emotions had just melted away and he was ready to start a new day. Ryan gave a big smile at the feeling and rolled over to his side where he saw a baby bottle sitting in a container of ice and a note on it.
He reached over and grabbed the note from the bottle and read it, then he remembered what he had done. However, when he remembered the incident, he didn’t want to cry about it like last time. He just felt a small bit of embarrassment; it was like as if crying and screaming about it got it all out of his system so he did not get a chance to hold onto any of the negative feelings that he would have had.
Ryan lifted slowly and realized that he had wet himself during his nap. ‘Oh no, oh no! What am I going to do? Becca is going to be so… mad? No, that is not my Becca. My Becca would probably be really understanding and nice and help me and wash me if I need it and let me sleep and make me a bottle for when I wake up.’ Ryan was thinking to himself. Starting to tear up at the thought of how nice Becca has been. ‘I need to help her out. I am a grownup… err… adult. I can clean up my own messes.’
Ryan started to use the pig towel to wipe up the mat where he had wet.
Becca had been alerted to the movement on the baby monitor and saw that Ryan was awake. ‘What is that little man up to?’ Becca thought to herself as she put her book down and started watching Ryan through the baby monitor.
“Oh my God.” Becca said out loud in a soft voice brining her left hand up to cover her mouth. She hit record on the baby monitor. “He wet the bed during his nap and now he is trying to clean it up. That is so stinking adorable.”
Ryan had felt like he had done an adequate job cleaning up the area and he set the towel off to the side in the playpen. ‘Burr.’ Ryan thought, ‘It sure is cold in here.’ Ryan looked down and say that he was still completely naked. He grabbed the blanket and wrapped around him like a cape. ‘There, that is one problem solved.’ Ryan continued with his thoughts. ‘I sure am hungry, I guess I don’t have anything left in me from earlier. I do not remember the last time I had to go that much. Ugh, and then Becca gave me a bath? And I could not stop screaming! What was that about?’
GRUMBLEGRUMBLE*
Ryan’s stomach was grumbling from how hungry he was. And he didn’t want to call for Becca, he was not ready to face her yet. He walked over and picked up the bottle all the while his blanket was strewn over him like a cape. He then reached over and grabbed his pillow and set it up against one of the sides of the playpen and then slid down letting out an audible ~sigh~. As if he had just returned from a hard day’s work and was about to crack open a beer.
“I thought it was the parents that were supposed to have to do all the hard work with a baby, but boy is it hard work. Or am I a toddler?” Ryan said out loud as he fiddled with the cap of his bottle to get it open and laughing. “I bet Becca is loving having me like this. But I could get used to waking up with a cold one. What do you think Mr. Bear?”
Becca had been watching since Ryan started moving laughing at every little thing he did. She could see what he was thinking about doing next and loved to watch him move around the playpen. When Ryan had finished saying “Mr. Bear” Becca could not contain herself she was giggling so hard at Ryan’s tiny little voice talking as though he was still a big strong man.
“Yes baby, I love having you like this. And yes, you are definitely a toddler.” Becca said still laughing at Ryan’s antics. “Now please keep telling me how hard it is to be a baby.”
Ryan had finally gotten the top off the bottle exposing the nipple put it in his mouth and started to suck. “What is this?” He had asked directing his question at Mr. Bear, “whatever it is it is delicious; or I was just starving.
“I am glad you like it baby.” Becca replied to the baby monitor as if Ryan could hear her.
Ryan had stood up and started walking around his playpen, his cape/blanket falling off. “Where do you think my wife is Mr. Bear? It is not like her to leave her kids unattended for so long.”
Becca started to snicker at her husband. “Oh, now you want me to come help you?”
Ryan started drinking his bottle again and walked to the other side of the playpen crossing in front of Mr. Bear. “I guess I shouldn’t be asking for here to come back so quick, huh Mr. Bear? She will probably want to put me into a diaper right away.”
“You got that right stinky butt.” Becca said in reply.
Ryan saw his reflection in the mirror through the playpen bars and then struck a pose with his hand on his butt. “How can you put a butt this good looking in diapers?”
Becca lost it at that and started laughing uncontrollably. She was laughing loud enough that Ryan heard her. He was wondering why she was laughing, feeling self-conscious he started looking around finally looking up and seeing the baby monitor above him. GASP Ryan jumped and covered himself with his blanket to try and hide.
“Hi Baby!” Becca called from the other room seeing that Ryan had finally noticed she was watching.
Becca got up from her spot and walked over to where Ryan was cowering in his playpen. She asked, “you didn’t think I would just leave you unattended after the morning you had did you?”
“I kinda thought you would.” Ryan replied sheepishly.
“Oh, baby.” Becca said softly as she reached in to pick up Ryan keeping him wrapped in his blanket. “You have a lot of growing up to do and learning what it means to have someone that cares for you.”
Ryan laid there as Becca was cradling him looking into her eyes seeing the love coming from them and feeling his own gaze giving the love right back. Ryan started to have tears well up in his eyes again. “What is wrong baby?” Becca said pouting at Ryan.
“I just really love you a lot is all.” Ryan replied.
“Oh, Ryan.” Becca said standing up resting Ryan’s head on her shoulder. This time herself tearing up a bit. “I love you too. Very much, more than anything in this world.”
They shared an extended embrace both crying tears of happiness and love softly, Becca rocking them gently.
After the moment had past Becca pulled Ryan away from her and said in a playful voice she uses with the little buys she watches. “Alright, little man are you ready?”
“Yeah!” Ryan said enthusiastically with a goofy smile on his face following Becca’s energy, “but ready for what?”
“Come now, you don’t remember your ground rule already do you?” Becca teased. “We need to go shopping for your “big boy” clothes.
“Oh yeah! That is going to be fun! Let’s do that! I want to show you how dressed up I can get!” Ryan said excitedly.
“Ooo! I want to see that! Let’s get you ready!” Becca said as she was walking down the stairs carrying Ryan in her arms.
Ryan frowned a little as they were walking down the stairs. “Becca?”
“Yes baby?”
“What about the office and the…”
“Ahh!” Becca cut him off. “There will be no grown-up talk till you are dressed. I have taken care of everything you just focus on you right now.”
Ryan was still a little worried but didn’t question it. They made their way to the changing room where Becca set Ryan down to stand on the floor while she went to look for a diaper that would fit. “Is that where you keep the underwear my size?” Asked Ryan.
“Really?” Becca responded. “After the breakfast that we just had you think I am going to let you out of here without a diaper on?”
Ryan paused for a second thinking of something to say to argue with her. But all that he could think to do was yell “NO!” and run away from Becca to hide.
Becca just laughed and went back to looking for the right size diapers for Ryan. She was not worried about him running around since the nursery was entirely child proof and couldn’t hurt himself. ‘I guess we can do away with the easy ups.’ Becca though to herself smiling, ‘I think my husband isn’t quite ready for potty training yet. He is probably still a size 4 yet, I am going to pick him out something cute. After all, it is not every day you get to diaper your husband. Should I get him some Luvs? He might like the monkey designs or the Pampers! He would look so adorable with Sesame Street on his tush. Or some Huggies would look cute, I don’t remember if he likes Micky Mouse. Never mind. I have the perfect diaper.’
“Ryan!” Becca called “get that cute tiny butt in here right now!”
“You called to me sexy lady?” Ryan appeared in the doorway, wearing nothing but sunglasses and holding a small toy that he was pretending to be a cigar. “Gotta make this quick baby. I’ve got a lot of girls to see today.”
“Oh, my goodness!” Becca squealed. “I need to get a picture of this.”
She put her hand into her dress pocket to get her phone and started snapping a bunch of pictures. This time Ryan didn’t mind the attention and even struck a pose or two. “Alright Mr. Model get over here and hop up.”
“Don’t mind if I do.” Ryan said as he strode over to the side of the changing room with the table. Making sure to pinch Becca’s butt when he passed.
“My aren’t you just the Casanova.” Becca said as she picked him up and laid him down on the changing table. “So, what made you change your mind about the diapers?”
“Well, I have a theory.” Replied Ryan.
“Oh, you have a theory now?” Becca said as she started to fluff the honest diaper. “I thought you would enjoy this. Skulls! So, you can be a little baby punk rocker! What do you think?”
“I think that if it makes you happy, I am happy.”
“It Does! Now sorry what was your theory?” Becca asked if she slid the diaper underneath her husband. She saw his little penis twitch as she pulled the diaper shut around her husband’s waist. “Glad to see some things never change.”
“Well, I am still your husband after all and I find you very attractive.” Ryan said smiling smugly. “But my theory is that once I prove to you that I can make it to the toilet on time and I don’t need these then you will see things my way.”
“Uh-huh.” Said Becca. She had her phone out and was taking a selfie with Ryan on the changing table.
“What are you doing now?” Asked Ryan.
“Baby’s first diaper change. Smile!”
Ryan did not smile but instead laid there looking grumpy. “Alright, cranky butt fine, let’s get you into some clothes.”
Ryan held his arms up to Becca indicating that he wanted to be picked up.
“Aww.” Becca cooed. “Aren’t you just the cutest.”
Ryan really wished she would stop calling him cute. He was playing along enough as it is being in a diaper. He started to walk to the closet to find some clothes. Seeing a diaper bag that was mostly packed with a picture of an owl on it.
“Hey where are you going?” Becca asked.
“Going to find some clothes.” Ryan replied incredulously.
“I already have your outfit picked out. Here.” Becca held put a pair of khaki pants with an elastic waist and a onesie that read SCIENCE IT’S LIKE MAGIC BUT REAL and a tiny tweed jacket to complete the ensemble.
“Isn’t there anything…” Ryan started but was cut off.
“Nope! This is what you are wearing!” She said excitedly as she quickly grabbed Ryan.
Ryan tried to struggle but Becca was way too strong for her. She had the onesie over Ryan’s head before he could even blink. Then in one flowing motion she picked him up and laid him on his back quickly snapping the onesie together around his crotch. Next came the pants, Becca had slid them over Ryan’s feet and in the same flowing motion but in reverse she stood him up on his feet and finished pulling up his pants. Finally, she held out the jacket for Ryan to put his arms through.
“I don’t even know how you did that.” Ryan said looking dizzy on purpose. “Do all of your kids get so man handled all the time?”
“Only the bratty ones.” Becca replied, helping Ryan put his jacket on.
Ryan stuck his tongue out at Becca.
“You know Ryan, I have a rule about little boys who don’t behave. If they get three strikes, they get put into time out. But I think for you I will make an exception to my rule and say that you will get a spanking. What do you think of that?” Becca asked sternly but somewhat joking.
“I think that you’re a big stinky butt face who won’t do nothing!” Ryan said again sticking out his tongue.
“Oh no!” Becca said angerly standing up. “There are only a few things that we do not tolerate in this house and that is bullying and having a potty mouth.”
“Relax Becca I was only joking.” Ryan said calmly, not thinking anything of it.
Becca reached into the diaper bag and grabbed out a pacifier with a green lanyard and stuck it into Ryan’s mouth. “This is what happens when little boys try to talk like big boys.” Becca said while clipping the other end of the lanyard to Ryan’s onesie. “And you better not spit that out till I tell you to. Do you understand me?”
“Yeth mam.” Ryan said from behind his pacifier shaking his head up and down.
“Good.” Becca replied. “Now let’s get going.”
Becca swung the diaper bag over her shoulder and then picked Ryan up carrying him on her hip. Ryan buried his head into Becca’s shoulder sucking on his pacifier hard, he was genuinely a little bit scared at Becca’s reaction he had never seen her so mad before especially not at him.
She grabbed a few more odds and ends from the kitchen before walking out to the garage. Ryan was so buried into her shoulder he didn’t even see what she grabbed. They made it out to the garage and Becca set Ryan down to stand next to the van. She went around to the back and got the correct size car seat for Ryan and started strapping it in. All the while Ryan was standing there patiently sucking on his pacifier waiting for Becca to finish.
“Alright buster.” Becca said bending over to meet Ryan at eye level. “Can we promise no more big boy words today?”
Ryan shook his head yes.
“Good.” She grabbed the pacifier out of his mouth and put it into his tweed jacket pocket. “Now let’s get you buckled in.”
Once Ryan was situated Becca got into the car and they made their departure. Becca started changing songs on the radio to play with Ryan. She switched it to Wheels on the Bus and started to sing along trying to get Ryan to join.
“Come on you know this one! The wheels on the bus go round and round.” Becca was singing while driving.
Ryan sat in his car seat with his arms crossed glaring at Becca through the child view mirror.
“Alright fine.” Becca said. “If you are going to be a grumpy butt, we will just listen to my music for the next ten minutes till we get to the mall.”
Becca changed the station and kept driving peaking back every so often to check on Ryan. But he was just looking out the window, not a care in the world just kicking his feet. ‘He seriously is the cutest in the world’ Becca thought as they were pulling into the parking lot.
“Umm, Becca?” Ryan asked.
“What do you need baby?” Asked Becca.
“Can we just hurry up and park?” Ryan asked while starting to squirm in his car seat.
“I am going as fast as I can.” Replied Becca. “But all of the spots are taken. Is something wrong?”
“I just really want to get inside is all.” Ryan said putting his hands between his crotch.
Becca took notice to Ryan’s squirming “Ryan what is wrong? Come on, use your words do you need to go potty?”
Ryan was a little annoyed by the way Becca just spoke to him, but he was more focused on making it to the bathroom to pay her much mind.
“I am fine Becca. Just hurry up and park. Yes, I need to use the restroom.” Ryan said a quiet hurriedness in his voice.
“Well, sorry Mr. Proper.” Becca replied. “Look there is a spot opening right there. Oh shoot! Someone took it.”
“Becca please!” Ryan said with an urgency in his voice.
“Okay, here.” Becca pulled into the ‘Parent with child spot’ “But remember Ryan, we are in public. That means you are two years old to everyone else. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand.” Ryan replied trying to undo his seatbelts “I am a stupid baby till we get back to the car. Can do. Now can you help me?”
Becca did not like the tone that Ryan was taking with her, and really didn’t like that he used the word stupid again. “I will baby but hold on. This is a serious question, and it is not meant to upset you but do you want me to grab a stroller? It is going to be a lot of walking and I am not going to carry you the whole time.”
“No, Becca we don’t need a damn stroller.” Ryan said getting mad that he could not get unbuckled. “Now get me out of here.”
“Fine.” Becca replied shortly.
She got out of her seat and opened the van door to try and get Ryan out as he was fiddling with the buckles himself. “Babe, baby stop. Let me get it for you.” Becca said firmly as she unbuckled Ryan and lifted him out of his car seat.
“Take my hand.” Becca said offering it for Ryan to take.
“Fine. Let’s just hurry.” Ryan said as she started to pull Becca towards the mall.
Becca caught up with Ryan easily and started to walk quickly with him. The stopped at the final cross before getting to the mall waiting for it to be safe to cross. As soon as it was Becca took a step forward but felt Ryan’s hand hold her back not moving. She looked back to see what was wrong with her husband to find him looking down at his pants an clenching his fist.
Becca looked down to Ryan and asked. “Everything alright baby?”
She waited for a response but there was no response form Ryan; he just kept looking down at his feet. Becca dropped his hand and turned to face him lowering to one knee.
“What is wrong my little man?” Becca said as she grabbed the front of his tweed coat in the same way that just yesterday, she was grabbing his lab coat at work.
Ryan looked up and met Becca’s eyes and started crying again. “I… Breath Had… Breath A… Breath Accident!”
“Uh-oh!” Becca said as she picked up Ryan. “Did we not make it in time?”
Ryan kept crying and Becca put the pacifier back into his mouth. Becca walked into the mall and to the directory where she found where the bathrooms were. After locating them she made her way over and saw that there was a line of about five women waiting with their children presumably for the same reason Becca and Ryan were there.
Becca kept bouncing Ryan cooing to him, “it’s oaky. It’s oaky. Shh. Shh. We are almost there.”
Through this rhythmic soothing Ryan started to calm down to the point that he looked around and saw there was a lot of people in the mall. He had never seen it so busy before. While looking around he all but forgot that his diaper was wet. It had totally absorbed his pee and did not even feel the moisture anymore.
Becca’s phone started to ring as she was bouncing Ryan. She grabbed it from her pocket and saw the caller ID. Shoot! It was Ryan’s mother calling her. Becca put Ryan down to stand next to her. “I’m sorry baby. This is your mom calling I need to take this.”
“Hi Jenna! How are you doing today?” Becca started talking to Ryan’s mother.
“Oh, you tried calling Ryan and his phone was off?”
“Yes, there is a reason for that. I signed him up to try a new stress relief program and part of the deal is no pones. Sorry I didn’t tell you.”
“What is the program? Umm, well it is like a new birth program.”
“What does it entail? Well, I guess you would just… umm… pick an age you want to re-live and then you get put into that mindset or something. It is very next gen.”
“How old is Ryan in this? Umm… 24 months.”
“Yes, he is supposed to be potty trained in this why?”
“Till seven? And then at night till fourteen?”
“No, he never mentioned it.”
“Yes, I will tell him to call you.”
Ryan got bored with listening to the conversation after Becca mentioned a stress relief program. He figured that Becca was going to make up some story and he did not think that there would be anything interesting. Ryan looked in front of him and saw a girl that was quite a bit bigger than himself. She stuck her tongue out at him, but Ryan was not in the mood for playing.
Ryan’s stomach was hurting again like it had at breakfast. ‘Oh no’ Ryan thought, ‘not here, not now.’ Come on how many people are left?’ The girl that he had ignored once again stuck her tongue out at Ryan, this time stomping her foot. Once again Ryan was not interested in playing. He was more focused on making sure he didn’t fill his pants twice in one day.
Ryan was clenching hard walking up the line with Becca her still on the phone with my mom. Finally, there was only the annoying girl and her mom in front of them. Ryan wasn’t paying attention and only had a hand around Becca’s leg, he was still clenching determined to make it.
Out of nowhere the girl that was sticking her tongue out at Ryan ran up behind him and gave him a hug. This was enough of a scare for Ryan to drop his whole load into the seat of his diaper. The girl behind him noticed that Ryan had just messed himself and screamed “EWW!” As she pushed Ryan over causing him to land on his butt and spread his mess throughout his diaper.
When Ryan fell back onto his butt his pacifier popped out of his mouth and he landed with a thud. His warm mess now spread throughout his diaper. Neither Becca nor the girl’s mom was paying attention and did not notice what just transpired. Ryan looked up breathing heavy on the verge of crying waiting for Becca to notice, but she never did. Ryan, finally having reached his boiling point screamed out “Mommy!!”
Causing Becca to look down seeing Ryan sitting on his butt with his legs sprawled out screaming his eyes out saying “Mommy! Mommy!” repeatedly.
“I am going to have to call you back Jenna.” Becca said into the phone before hanging it up and putting it back into her dress pocket. She bent over and scooped up Ryan putting his pacifier back into his mouth to stop him from screaming.
“Oh my, oh my.” Becca cooed towards Ryan. “What has happened to upset you so much?”
Ryan’s diaper smell hit Becca’s noise. “Oopsies! Did someone make a poopy?”
This caused Ryan to cry harder and he buried his face into Becca’s shoulder. Becca looked down and saw the girl that had pushed Ryan and then up to her mom. The girl’s mom looked at Becca and at Ryan crying. His smell seeming to Hit the girl’s mother as well.
“Oh my!” She said, “your son has one full diaper!”
Becca blushed at the woman calling Ryan her son.
“Oh yes, he can be quite the stinker.” Becca smiled back at the woman.
The door to the bathroom opened and a woman and her child walked out.
“Why don’t you go ahead of me dear.” The woman said to Becca. “I wouldn’t want him to get a rash.”
“Thank you so much!” Becca said as she made her way past the woman and into the open bathroom.
Becca opened the changing table with one hand and then laid Ryan down into changing position. She pulled down his pants and set them off to the side.
“Pee you!” Becca said waiving her hand in front of her nose like she was wafting away the bad smell. “You are one stinky baby!”
Ryan couldn’t help but smile at Becca’s antics he knew that she was trying to make him happy and he loved her for it. Becca saw a smile peak out from behind Ryan’s pacifier.
“There’s my smile!” Becca said as she started to tickle him while unsnapping his onesie.
Ryan giggled as Becca pulled his onesie up over his stomach exposing his very wet and very messy diaper. Becca started to undo the tapes on Ryan’s diaper exposing his penis and his poppy bottom. Becca lifted Ryan up and wiped his bottom clean expertly placing a fresh diaper beneath him. Then went to work wiping down his front, noticing that his little baby penis was actually getting aroused.
Becca laughed out loud looking at Ryan’s tiny penis try to stand up straight.
“I guess the formula didn’t change everything about you.” Becca mused as she was cleaning Ryan’s penis. “I think we better get this baby in a nice clean new diaper before he makes a different kind of mess!”
Ryan blushed heavily. It was not like he could help it. He found his wife very sexy and she was rubbing his cock up and down.
“Sowwy.” Ryan said from behind his pacifier.
“No need to apologize!” Becca responded. “I am glad to know things are still working!”
Ryan wiggled his butt a bit as Becca was taping up his new diaper. Ryan noticing the time it has avocado designs on it.
“So, mommy huh?” Becca asked as she started snapping Ryan’s onesie back shut.
“You heard that?” Ryan asked embarrassed taking his pacifier out and holding it.
“Baby, the whole mall heard you.” Said Becca.
“I’m sorry!” Ryan said turning his head to face the wall.
“Again, no need to apologize. This is a very weird time for you, and you are dealing with a lot of rollercoaster emotions.” Becca said reassuringly to Ryan. “If it makes you feel better, I can be mommy for now. It did make my heart swell when I was able to pick you up while you were crying for me as your mommy.”
She finished diapering Ryan and put his clothes back on and stood him up on the changing table. She pulled the pacifier out of Ryan’s mouth and asked him, “Anything else to add little man?”
“So much for me theory” Ryan replied almost laughing at himself.
Becca picked him up and laughed. “You are right! Looks like I am just going to need to keep that tush in adorable diapers for the foreseeable future. But that is alright I don’t mind changing your diapers.”
