6. When an other boy became a sissy
We invited Niina, Jack and Martin a few weeks later. Alicia was very excited. She had planned a lot of activities: tea party with all dolls and cuddly toys (hers and those of Robin and Dani), board games, sing nursery rhymes... She had found old Robin's clothes at Claire and she had borrow them in ordre to dress Martin.
"Darling", I told her, "you can't plan to dress Martin with Robin's dresses!"
"But why Daddy? He's a sissy just like Robin! Mommy did the same when she was a kid!"
"Maybe, but aunty Claire agreed with this, and she's Robin's mommy. What if uncle Jack and aunty Niina don't want Martin to dress like a girl?"
"Ok, I'll ask them first..."
"No sweety. You will play with Martin while Mommy and I talk with Martin's parents. And only then, we'll tell you if you can propose him to play dress up. Ok Alicia?"
"Well... Ok Daddy", she answered apparently disappointed.
Martin was very enthusiastic, seen the way he greeted us. While Alicia took him by the hand and led him to her room, we sat in the living room with his parents. Dani stayed with us, playing with his blocks and construction toys.
"I won't beat about the bush", said Niina. "Many people among the family and our friends thinks that Martin is a sissy boy. I love Martin more than anything and I want him to be happy. And I never saw him happyer than at the wedding, when he played with the little girls and Robin. This last days, he was all excited by the perspective of today. He didn't complained about school and other kids teasing and bullying him like he usually does. He confessed me that he wished he was treated like a little girl. He wants to play with a doll and to wear dresses like Alicia and Robin. But he also wants his daddy to be happy. And so he won't do anything of that as long as Jack won't agree."
"I love my son too", Jack cut. "And I too wants him to be happy. I know he's not a tough kid. I know he might be gay or something. But I won't let him be treated like a baby girl, not now and certainly not when he will be twenty or thirty years old!"
There was a hushed silence.
"Chris", Jack continued, "You have a son too. What if he become a sissy? Would you like him to be like Robin?"
"Of course not Jack", I answered, looking at Dani playing with his blocks. "I hope he'll be like me. I hope we'll play football and watch games together, and maybe with Alicia too. But I love Robin like my own son. And I know he's happy with his situation. So if Dani has to be like him, so be it."
"Sorry if I'm rude", said Jack, "I can believe that Robin is happy. But you can't tell that this is a sane situation! He's a thirty years old man treated like a baby girl!"
"I know it's hard to admit Jack. But this is perfectly sane. Some people are just made like that..."
"Nobody says that Martin is exactly like Robin", interrupted Sophia. "He's an effeminate kid, that's a fact. He loves to play with younger girls, he wants to play with dolls and cross-dress. He's very cute, polite, soft and affectionate. Doesn't he still calls you “Mommy” and “Daddy”? But this doesn't mean that he will stay at this stage for the rest of his life, or that he's a submissive kid like Robin. You must just let him do and see where it leads."
Jack was puzzled. We called the children. Alicia, Robin and Martin came in the living room. Martin was holding a Barbie doll.
"Look Mommy", he said with a big smile, "I dressed and combed her. Alicia taught me..."
"That's sweet", Niina answered. "Now sit, we need to talk."
Alicia and he sat on an armchair, Robin sat on the floor.
"Now, sweety, tell us what you told me the other night", asked Niina.
"You mean... In front of Daddy?" asked Martin.
"Yes sweety".
"Daddy... Please don't hate me..." he said sobbing. "You know I don't like boys activities. I don't like violent games or football or getting dirty like the other. You know my only friends are girls... and books. And my best friend is Alicia. I love playing with her. I would love to be like her. I would love to take care of a baby doll, to play dress-up, to wear nice clothes..."
"I don't hate you Martin", said his dad. "You're my only son. I want you to be happy and nothing else. But what do you call “nice clothes”?"
"I mean dresses Daddy. I dream of wearing princess dresses..."
"And do you dream of being a little girl?" he asked nicely.
"Not exactly Daddy... I think it would be more simple if I was a girl. I could play and dress as I want and nobody would laugh of me... But I don't absolutely want to dress as a girl all the time. Just when I play at home or with my friends. I don't care about wearing trousers to school or when I go out... As long as I am dressed nicely."
"Would you like to dress-up now honey?" asked Jack.
"Oh yes Daddy, I would love that! Daddy...? You never called me “honey”..." he said with tears in the eyes.
"I know honey. But you like it, don't you?"
"Yes Daddy!" he exclaimed. He ran in his father's arms. They hugged and kissed.
"Come on Martin!", called Alicia, "I have plenty of dresses for you to try!"
"Can we go Daddy?" asked Martin, still embracing his dad.
"Yes, you can."
"Thank you Daddy!" said Martin, giving him a last kiss on the cheek.
"You stay here baby", said Sophia to Robin, as he was getting up. He sat down immediately and said "Yes Miss Sophia."
"What do you think of Martin", she asked when the kids had left.
"Mister Martin is very nice and sweet, Miss Sophia", he answered.
"Do you believe he is a sissy like you?"
"I don't know, Miss Sophia. He sure is not like other boys. Like me, he loves dresses and dollies. He looks more like me than like Mister Dani..." he said, pointing Dani who enjoyed destroying his block constructions while imitating sound of explosions. "But he's more sure of himself than me at his age."
"Do you believe that Miss Alicia acts with him like I used to act with you when I was a child?"
"She reminds to me of you Miss Sophia. But she doesn't need to boss him like you had to do for me, Miss Sophia: he takes initiatives by himself."
"Do you imagine Martin in ten or twenty years being treated as a sissy baby like you?"
"I don't Miss Sophia. I believe Mister Martin is too mature to be treated as a baby full-time. I picture him growing up and become a nice personn who take care of little ones."
"Do you mean like me or Mister Christopher, or like his parents?"
"Not like you Miss Sophia, or like Daddy... I mean Mister Christopher. Neither like Miss Niina or Mister Jack. I can't picture him being as strong and confident as you. But neither is he a submissive baby like me."
"Are you reassured Jack?" asked Sophia.
"This is not exactly the feeling I have", said Jack "but yes, I guess I am."
Alicia burst in the living room and announced "ladys and gentlemen, please welcome the famous ballerina Martine!" (she insisted on the "e").
Martin followed her. He wore a bright pink leotard, a large pink tutu, pink tights, pink ballet slippers, pink lipsticks and red blush. He smiled, did a curtsey and a twirl. I don't know if he had practicing or if he just was a natural, but he was very convincing as a ballerina.
Niina opened her arms, he ran to her and they hugged. He looked at his dad. "I'm sorry to be like that Daddy..."
"You don't have to be sorry sweetheart. You're very pretty."
"Thank you Daddy!"
Jack joined the hug. Martin whispered "I love you Mommy and Daddy. You're the best mommy and daddy ever..."
Dani lost interest in his toys and looked at him. He roared with laughter. He was used to see Robin dressed as a little girl and wasn't aware of the unusualness of his status. But being almost four years old, he could understand that Martin was a boy dressed as a girl and that it was a funny situation.
"See sweety?" said Jack "this is the kind of situation I want you to avoid."
"I know Daddy. That's why I don't want to get out dressed like that. But you know... kids don't needs to see me dressed as a sissy ballerina to make fun of me."
Dani returned to his toys and the kids returned to their room. Martin tried all the outfits Alicia had picked at her great-aunt's house. But he definitely loved the ballerina above all.
When they left at the end of the day, Alicia asked to the parents "Can Martin come to my birthday in two weeks?"
"Yes of course! If he wants to", said Niina.
"Oh yes Mommy please!" exclaimed Martin, who had sadly returned to his boy clothes but took with him his ballerina outfit.
"Will he can stay for the night?" she asked excited.
"We'll see..." answered Jack.
Martin's parents called us during the following week to organize the week-end. Martin would be dressed like a little girl and stay for the slumber party.
Martin arrived dressed in a pink Disney princess-style frock. He carried a present wrapped in a pink paper, a pink barbie sleeping bag under his arm and he cuddled a doll with the other.
"Mommy bought me the present, the frock and the sleeping bag", he explained us. "And Daddy bought me the dolly. He surprised me last week when he came back from work. I have named her Marian, like Robinhood lover... even if little Robin here is more a princess than an outlawed!" Robin indeed wore a quite similar dress, his petticoat had lot of layers so you could see his diaper easily. We all laughed, especially Robin who greeted Martin and Marian with a curtsey and a kiss.
Alicia's guests arrived. There were five girls, all from her school. She introduced her parents, her baby brother Dani, her "sissy baby" Robin and her "sissy friend Martine". We knew all the kids parents. Some of them were our friends and all of them knew, with more or less details, about Robin.
Some of the girls started to speak baby-talk and to fuss with him while others took interest in Martin. Three of them surrounded him.
"Hi, I'm Susan!" one of them said. "Why do you wear a dress? Are you a sissy?"
"Hello Susan, I am Martin. Yes, I guess I am a sissy, because I love pretty dresses..."
"Do you wear girly panties too?" asked Andrea, an other guest. She didn't wait the answer to lift his dress. "Look everyone! What a cute pair of girly panties! That make you a pantywaist?" she asked.
"Hum... Yes I guess... I am a pantywaist Andrea..."
"How old are you?" asked the third girl, Mary.
"I am ten years old, Mary..."
"And you still play with a dolly?! My sister is nine and she doesn't have a doll anymore. And I am six and I play with it only very rarely!"
Andrea, still holding the dress, slapped his bottom.
"Hey! I told you you have cute panties! Aren't you going to thank me?"
"Thank you Andrea" he said.
"Nice girly-girls curtseys when they thank people for a compliment!" she pointed as she dropped his dress hem.
"Thank you Andrea", he said with a curtsey.
They all burst out of laugh.
I intervened. "Kids, you're not here to make fun of Martin. You play nice with him or I call your parents and the party will be over for you."
They apologized and went to play with the other girls.
"Thank you uncle Christopher", Martin told me. "But they didn't bothered me. I am glad to be here and I wouldn't want to ruin the party."
They played various traditional games like Duck, duck, goose, Musical chairs, Pass the present, Pin the tail on the donkey, Simon says... It was very nice, even if I couldn't say that Martin was left alone by the girls. They lifted his dress in every occasion, they arranged to make him lose the games and made him pay forfeits, like dancing, singing nursery rhymes, stand on one leg, walk on all four... They also targeted Robin and gave him similar orders.
At tea time, we put a bib to Robin.
"Shouldn't Martine wear a bib too?" asked Kelly, an other guest. "He's a sissy as well!"
"That won't be necessary, but I can still call your parents if you don't stop your rudeness", I answered.
But Martin looked at me with sad eyes and begged: "Uncle Christopher, I believe it would be more safe if I wore a bib. I wouldn't want to ruin my pretty frock... please?"
Alicia chosed a bib with embroidered words "Sissy princess" and Sophia tied it to Martin.
Alicia distributed plates with the pieces of cream cake to everybody. When it was Martin's turn, she carried the plate by the bottom, she approached it from Martin's face and she started pieing him.
As soon as he had checked that his dress was well protected, he joined the girls in roars before Sophia or I could say anything.
We looked at each other and decided to let them do.
"Oh! Baby Martine can't feed herself without making a mess!" said Susan. "Let me help you!" She wiped him with a paper towel and voluntarily spread the cream all over his face, then she fed him like a baby. Martin seemed to enjoy.
They didn't let him clean himself before gift time. He gave Alicia a kit of jewels manufacturing, a present she dreamed about.
"Ok, now I have my present and as I like it, you can go clean your face", she said.
"Let me clean him!" exclaimed Kimmy, the fifth guest. She took him to the bathroom and washed him with baby wipes. She saw a pink dummy laying and pushed it in Martin's mouth.
"Baby is all clean!" she announced when she came back with him. "Does baba want to join the other baby in the playpen?"
"Sorry, but it's baby Robin bath time", said Sophia.
All the girls and Martin volunteered to bath Robin and to prepare him for the night.
Under our supervision, Kimmy bathed him (she gave him a shampoo and rinsed him, then I rubbed him with soap), Kelly put his diaper (she closed and taped the diaper, after I had spread the lotions), Mary closed his pajama buttons (after Sophia had put him in), Andrea fed him his vegetable purée and finally, as Martin had been put away of all the fun, I picked him to give Robin his bottle.
He sat on the couch and Robin laid down and put his head on his legs. Martin tenderly caressed his hair, made him burp and kissed him on the forehead.
"Does sissy Martine want ba-ba too?" asked Alicia.
"Yeth pwease, fiffy wou'd 'ike ba-ba!" answered Martin cheerfully.
She took his place and made him drink a bottle of sugar water.
We all went to the kid's room to put Robin in bed.
"Nighty night Miss Sophia, nighty night Mister Christopher, nighty night Mister Dani, nighty night Miss Alicia, nighty night Miss Mary, nighty night Miss Andrea, nighty night Miss Susan, nighty night Miss Kelly, nighty night Miss Kimmy, nighty night Mister Martin!" he said after each kissed him.
The kids went to the living room while Sophia and I fed Dani. I heard Martin talk to Alicia.
"I would like Robin to call me simply Martin. I don't feel like a “Mister”... Or even a “Miss”."
"Ok. But if he does, that make you a sissy like him. That means that you'll have to call me “Miss Alicia”, and Dani “Mister Dani”... And all my friends “Miss...” Is that what you want Martin?"
"Yes, please, Miss Alicia!"
I took a look and saw him kneeling in front of her, head lowered, curtseying.
"Please, Miss Alicia, may I be your sissy?"
"Will you do everything I tell you, like a good little sissy?"
"Yes Miss Alicia, I will obey you, like a good little sissy."
"Thus, do something funny!"
"Yes Miss Alicia!"
He thought a few seconds and started to walk on all four.
"No! Do something funny but that you haven't done yet today!" she commanded.
"Yes Miss Alicia. Sorry Miss Alicia."
He stood up and started to twirl while singing, on the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
"I am a little sissy,
And I love to dress pretty.
I adore my pinky panty
And my fwock and all my tighty
I am a little sissy,
And I love to dwess pwetty."
The girls giggled. He finished with a curtsey.
"Continue sissy!" ordered Alicia.
"I love Mistress Alicia,
She is grown, I'm a baba,
She gave me wawa in ba-ba
Like my nice dada and mama
I love Mistress Alicia,
Goo goo goo goo goo ga ga."
"Sing and dance again!" said Alicia.
"Marian is my dolly,
And I am her nice mommy.
I give her pink dress and binkie,
Her din-din and all her drinky
Marian is my dolly,
And I am her nice mommy."
"Don't stop!" she said laughing.
"Miss Susan, Miss Andrea
Miss Kimmy, Miss Alicia
Miss Mary and Missis Kelly
They are all very nice ladys
I am their little sissy,
Cause I'm a tiny baby."
They could no more laugh! "Ok, stop it!"
"Yes Miss Alicia", he said with a new curtsey.
"You have made something very funny!"
"Thank you Miss Alicia."
Even Dani was laughing a lot, and he still was when we put him to bed.
The girls wanted Martin to serve us during dinner and to eat after, but Sophia and I refused, so he joined us at the table. But girls decided to feed him and made him said "thank you Miss..." after every spoon.
After meal, they played Truth or dare. They asked him embarrassing questions like "what other kids calls you at school?", "don't you feel ridiculous to be a dressed like a little girl?", "don't you feel ashamed to call us “Miss.”?", "tell us about the cutest boy in your class!", "do you have a crush on him? Would you like to kiss him?", "what would he do if he knew? Do you think he would beat you?"
The dares were hard too. "Sing your song again!", "kiss Miss Kelly's bottom!", "kiss Miss Mary's feet!", "suc-k your thumb!", "crawl like a baby!", "from now, you can't use the toilets, we're going to diaper you and you'll have to use your didee!"
I tried to interrupt them, but Martin told me "pretty please uncle Christopher! Let me do what they tells me! We're having fun! And I would love to be a good sissy baby just for tonight!"
They made sure he wet his nappy by giving him a baby bottle each. They changed him before going to sleep and put him in an Alicia's babydoll that was too small and didn't cover his diaper. They ironically complimented his Barbie sleeping bag, he sincerely thanked them.
I suspect that they used an old trick by dipping his finger into water during the night. However, he was wet in the morning.
He had the same "brekkie" as Robin, who was disturbed when he learned that he would have to refer to Martin as just "Martine" now.
He finally was allowed to put back his dress and panties.
When Jack came to pick him up, he heard Martin saying "bye-bye Miss Alicia, thank you for everything Miss Alicia!"
I looked at him a bit scared of his reaction.
He looked at me with a sad smile and shrugged.
Epilogue (for now?)
At his home, Martin isn't treated like a baby and he doesn't dress like a girl everyday, although he carries Marian all the time and sleeps with her.
He's very close to his mommy. They spend time together in activities like baking, giving each other manucures and pedicures, reading fashion or gossip magazines, visit museums, go to the movies to watch romantic comedy films...
Jack doesn't take part in these activities, but they have their special father-son moments. Every evening, after dinner, they cuddle until Martin's bedtime and his daddy put him to bed. He says "sweet dreams honey" and kisses him on the forehead.
Martin is regularly invited at our home. We watch to prevent abuses from Alicia, and now from Dani too. He still found very funny to see Martin dressed as a little girl, and even a baby. He calls him "sissy" and give him lots of orders: "I want apple juice!" or "Bring me my toys!" and even "pee in your didee!". Martin always answers: "Yes Mister Dani".
Alicia have fun in giving him contradictory orders like "don't pee!"
Poor Martin is caught in a vise and whatever he does, he ends with a punishment.
Martin's presence is kind of a release for Robin, as he has to endure the kids whims everyday.
We tells Dani that if he wants to have fun with the sissies, he must be gentle with them. So he has to help us to feed them and to hug and kiss them goodnight.
The two sissies spend many time together, taking care of each other, compliment their outfits and their dollie's hairstyle or dresses.
Martin acts like a submissive baby with Alicia and Dani, especially since he wear diaper and go to beddy-bye sooner than them. But with Robin, he acts more like a big sister. He makes him play like a baby and speaks to him gently. He tells him about fashion, the movies that he saw with his mommy, the "handsome" actors or singers he likes...
Alicia is aware of this difference. She gave Martin small privileges, like the right to use toiletts for "number two" or to watch TV shows with her. And while it's clear to her that Robin will stay a baby forever, she often says to Martin "You'll see when you grow up". They talks about their future, when they will be adults and married to "handsome men", even if Alicia sees herself as an independant women with a good job (teacher, doctor, veterinarian, explorer...) and Martin as an housewife who does household chores and obey her husband!
As for us, we became close friends to Niina and Jack. They are grateful to us for having helped their son to go out and to bloom. We invite each other often, we go out to play golf or to the restaurant, leaving the children at Claire or Sabine. We plan to go on holidays together, with the children.
I guess this is going to be great!
