"You know," Mark said and added, "it's pretty obvious."
"No, I don't know," Abby said.
"Sows ear into a silk purse, that sort of thing," Mark said.
"You can't be serious, honey, honey, you're so very far from that," Abby said and added, "and besides, what makes you think that's not you?"
"Because that's someone else right. A girl. A real girl. You already had a picture of a girl in the same outfit and wig didn't you," Mark asked with a touch of conviction in his voice. He was sure that wasn't him.
"What about this one," Abby said handing Mark the second Polaroid.
"Same as before. A girl," Mark said looking at the second photo of the girl, this one a full view of the girl from head to toe.
"OK, so I faked it a little. She is cute though right," Abby said.
"She is," Mark said nervously and added, "and you knew you were going to do this to me because you had her close her eyes as well."
"OK, so you caught me. Was hoping you wouldn't notice that. But that aside, what if you could look like that, would you play dress-up with me more often," Abby said.
"Fat chance of that but yes. I mean there is no way I'd ever look like that, but if I did, I'd play dress up with you more," Mark said.
"Promise me," Abby said.
"Abby, there is no way I can look like that," Mark said looking at the girl again.
"Then promise me you'll play dress up more," Abby said and added, "come on, where's the harm in making a promise you don't have to keep?"
"Fine, I promise then," Mark said and asked, "so seriously, who is she."
"She's a very dear friend," Abby said.
"And she let you diaper her," Mark said in amazement.
"More or less. I had to kind of talk her into it but yes, she let me diaper her," Abby said.
"So you could take her picture for this little joke on me, right," Mark asked.
"Yes, but it's not a joke on you precious, it's so you could imagine what you might look like and with so very little effort," Abby said.
"You mean miracle, don't you," Mark asked.
"It already is," Abby said as she took Mark's hand to have him stand.
The mirror was behind him as Abby turned Mark toward it.
That same girl, turning the same exact way, looked just as stunned as Mark did as he took in her face. It wasn't his face and that wasn't him. It couldn't be. It was impossible but Mark opened his eyes wider and she did as well. Mark opened his mouth, closed it and wiggled a hand and she mimicked him exactly.
"This is impossible," Mark finally said as he scanned his image from top to bottom. He could just see the baby pants under the layers of slip and dress and almost dared to lift his dress to see them.
"She's really something isn't she," Abby said.
"It can't be me," Mark said turning slowly to the left a little. He caught a glimpse of the ruffled panties and his heart raced. He was wearing those ruffled panties and under it he could feel the softness of the diaper.
"Well," Abby said beaming proudly.
"It's got to be a trick of some sort," Mark said in utter amazement as he turned back to look again at the girl he still couldn't believe was him and couldn't help but admire.
"No trick precious, just you under the hand of mommy. So can mommy get her back under her hands in the future," Abby said as she moved behind Mark before lifting his dress and slips. His panties were clearly visible now as she added, "and in more lacy things like this?"
"Yes," Mark whispered. He was astonished almost beyond words. Almost faint from the excitement that had been pushing at him all along and even harder now.
"Come on and let's go walk around the patio and grounds and see what being a prissy little girl really feels like," Abby said and added, "and by the way, little girls that love playing dress up feel almost the same way as you at this moment."
"Not exactly the same way," Mark said smiling and the little girl watching him smiled in the same way.
"And isn't that wonderful for me, because when we come back moppet, I get to play again," Abby said as she fluffed his slips and dress back down.
Abby's cell phone rang at that instant. She looked apologetically at Mark and opened it.
"Hello," Abby said and added, "hey sis. You home or still at work?"
"Actually, yes, she's standing right in front of me. We were just about to go for a walk," Abby said.
Mark, listening but trying not to appear to be, looked stunned suddenly. Abby was talking about him to who he assumed was her sister and his panic grew. Mark caught himself just then because Abby wasn't talking about him to her sister until her sister had asked about him. She had asked about him. Did Abby's sister know? Mark looked as scared as he felt.
"Sis, can you hold for a second," Abby said cupping the phone as she asked, "Hey, you OK?"
"You told your sister about us? About me, about this," Mark asked in a shocked tone.
"Precious, it's OK. She knows. She's known for a while now," Abby said smiling reassuringly as she added, "she adores you by the way."
"How can that be, I've never met the woman," Mark said growing confused and even more panicked as he added, "not under these kind of circ-umstances. Not under any circ-umstances."
"Mark honey, I guess I should tell you now, but before that precious it's going to be OK. It really is. Mark, precious, she knows because she's the one that hired you," Abby said as she put her phone back to her ear.
"Sis, can I call you back, she's feeling a little nervous at the moment and needs some reassurance. No, not yet! Definitely not yet. I want some time with her first. Great. Make it an hour then" Abby said and added, "and sis, don't plan on staying because I want to get her into my bed early tonight."
The End
