Jake was transferred to his play-pen and guests at his baby-birthday party started queueing up with presents for him. Naturally all of the presents were wrapped in pink or nursery patterned paper. Jake was unable to unwrap them himself of course but Diane was only too eager to help. She even handed some to little Vicky to unwrap since she was more capable with her hands than Jake.
Not surprisingly they were all dolls and baby toys. Jake was expected to show his appreciation to the giver by hugging the dollies and duly trying out the rattles, toys with bells in them or that squeaked when pressed.
Occasionally one of the toys would be misjudged and too difficult for him to handle with his hands in mittens. Once he had fumbled vainly with it his mother or Diane would conclude that it was too difficult for him (âoh yes, it says from 2 years oldâ) and pass it on to Vicky.
Lots of his guests wanted photos presenting his gift to him for which he was usually required to stand up so that his thick nappy and frilly nappy cover could be seen in the shot. Some of them took videos in which they could be seen patting his thickly nappied and very frilly bottom and he would dutifully hug his new dolly or shake his new rattle.
His mother came over when he had finally opened all the presents. âIs your nappy wet sweetie?â He was surprised at the question since his thicker nappy could take several wettings and he wasnât sure how many times he had wet this one since the morning. He didnât always notice anymore. He thought it was best to nod.
A couple of people who obviously hadnât realized his full predicament put their hands to their mouths. âYou mean he has to use his nappies?!â His mother chuckled. âOf course he does. He needs to use his nappies, donât you sweetie?â Jake cringed but had to nod his agreement.
âHop up!â his mother ordered, patting the changing table. Jake winced at the idea of having his nappy changed in front of all the guests at the party but had no choice but to obey. Those who hadnât realized that he needed to use his nappies crowded in closest to observe his changing. A couple of them asked to examine his chastity device more closely. Jake didnât know where to look as they jiggled the device and giggled at the way his little member was pressing hard at the sides.
As the crowd was dwindling, Mrs Palmer who owned the Maid CafĂ© came over to have her photo taken with him, now back in his high-chair. âWhat a fun party!â she commented to his mother, looking around the prettily decorated nursery. âThank you.â
âNext year would you like to have his baby-birthday party in the Maid CafĂ©?â âHHHNngggg?â Jake questioned through his soother. She was just assuming that he was still going to be in nappies and baby dresses for another whole year! Jake looked around his completely and elaborately redecorated room, his extensive collection of frilly baby dresses, the complete absence of anything he had when he was a normal boy and realized that it was not an outrageous assumption.
âThat would be wonderful, wouldnât it?â his mother answered, seeking endorsement from Jake. He was stunned. Heâd even stopped suc-king on his soother for a moment. He slumped in his high-chair at the prospect of another year waddling around the town in a very thick nappy, frilly baby dresses with matching bonnets, nappy covers and tights. What was the point in giving his opinion â it never mattered. His mother just did what she wanted anyway.
âIâll book it in to my calendar. Perhaps we could make it an annual thing!â Mrs Palmer added. âExcellent idea!â his mother agreed. Any idea of getting out of nappies and baby dresses was receding far into the future in Jakeâs mind as he sat there strapped into his high-chair, legs dangling in mid-air.
The women moved off leaving Jake to his thoughts. A few moments later a girl wandered up and looked Jake up and down incredulously. Jake only cringed a little as he was now so used to people taking a moment to take in his ridiculously sissy and babyish appearance for a teenage boy.
âI canât believe you let them do this to you!â she said. âNNNGGGGH!â Jake demonstrated his mittened hands and tugged on the straps keeping him in the high-chair. She understood. âI canât believe they are allowed do this to you!â Jake silently agreed, still suc-king on his soother.
âIâll speak to my mother about it, sheâs a lawyerâ, the girl added. Jake nodded enthusiastically. Having been just confronted with a future in nappies for years to come, he now had some hope.
âCome along Janice!â The girl turned to her mother who was looking Jake up and down impassively. It was rare that his situation got no reaction. âComing.â As Janice left the room she looked back and nodded to Jake to confirm that she was going to pursue this. Jake raised his rattle towards her a shook it, then realized that was pretty stupid.
