Thank you everybody for re-assuring me. I never got the implication that anyone felt that way, but I also wanted to make 100% sure that nobody was misinterpereting what I was writing that way after Lilly's pronouns were brought up. The story will go on for sure!
Part 19
Andrea's shiny back SUV trotted along at a brisk pace as Lilly sat in the back and stared longingly out the window. Last time he had been in a car, it had been as an adult, sitting in the front seat and able to talk freely as he pleased. Now, however, his circ-umstances could hardly be described as adult. For one thing, he found himself strapped into a colorful oversized booster seat, complete with straps that came down from above his head and buckled between his legs. Second, he had a bright purple pacifier with the words "cutie pie" engraved on it sandwiched between his lips with strict instructions not to remove it unless he was ordered to. Any disobeyment of this rule would result in physical punishment, as he had learned the day before when he attempted to remove it during his morning feeding before being instructed to. And lastly, a thick pink and white diaper was taped between his hips, topped off by an equally pink toddlers play dress that had been draped over his body. I'm addition to the play dress he had been given a pair of pink fuzzy socks for his feet, a black pair of strapped little girl style shoes, and an adorable plastic tiara adourned with shiny purple jewels, which had been placed on top of his head. According to his mommy, the tiara was there to complete his "princess look", as she put it.
The SUV came to a screeching halt in front of an ordinary looking suburban home, no different than the countless others Lilly had been watching pass by out the window for the last half hour. "Number 433. This is it I think", Andrea said as she began to slowly back her car into the driveway. Lilly sat and waited while he watched his mommy exit the vehicle and walk to the trunk. From the back of the car suddenly emerged Lilly's portable crib, which his mommy had decided to bring along last minute for his nap. With the crib in one arm, Andrea opened the back door of her car with the other hand and dexterously maneuvered Lilly up into her clutches, carrying both him and the crib to the front door. Lilly could only sit silently in nervous anticipation as Andrea rang the doorbell with an amused smile.
Within mere seconds, the door in front of them opened. Jane gave them a warm welcome and a hug as she ushered Andrea and Lilly into the house for Lilly's playdate. "Now I forget, did I tell you about Lilly's new circ-umstances when we were on the phone yesterday?", Andrea asked Jane. Jane held up her hand and nodded her head. "Of course", Jane replied, "Although I don't know how happy Sophie will be that her new friend can't talk to her. I've already explained to her that Lilly is still a baby and we can't play too many big kid games, so I think she'll be understanding. She absolutely loves when I watch her 6 month old cousin. I don't think she'll mind having another baby to play with." Jane directed Andrea to bring Lilly into the living room, where Sophie was laying on her belly deeply engaged in a coloring book. Jane smiled and called out to her daughter in a sing song voice. "Oh Sophie, guess who's here!"
Sophie turned around and visibly gasped. She instantly jumped up onto her feet and ran over to Andrea, jumping up and down with excitement as she looked up at Lilly. "Lilly! Lilly! You're here!", she chanted with glee, clearly happy to see an old friend. Jane laid down a blanket and Andrea set Lilly onto it. As soon as he touched the ground, he felt Sophie run over and give him a hug. "My mommy says you're even more of a baby now", Sophie said with an air of conference, causing Lilly to blush. "She says since you wouldn't grow up you can't talk anymore, and she said you still have to use diapeys like a baby. I havent had to do that in a year, I'm a big kid now, see?" Sophie pulled up her skirt and showed Lilly her pull ups, causing Lilly to blush even more. It was very humiliating seeing a 4 year old girl get treated more mature than he was. "Its okay though, I love little babies!", Sophie continued to explain, "We can play house later and I can be your mommy. You can be my pretty little baby and I can take care of you! I won't change you if you make a stinky though."
Jane and Andrea laughed with eachother in the background. They were both obviously amused by Lilly's lack of maturity compared to this literal toddler. Sophie handed Lilly a crayon and started showing him her coloring book, freeing Andrea's attention so she could begin explaining Lilly's routine to Jane. "I brought his changing supplies in case he makes any messes. Thank you for agreeing to change him, I know it's a bit burdensome", Andrea said gratuitously. Jane smiled and shook her head. "I've changed babies before, it's completely fine, even if he is a little...er...big", Jane replied with a giggle. Andrea handed her his diaper bag and looked to the portable crib on the ground. "Just remember, he takes his nap at 1pm", explained Andrea, "I've also packed a bib and a couple jars of baby food for lunch. He can take his bottle whenever you want, but I usually give it to him before his meals and during his nap. I know he looks a bit older, but remember that as far as we are concerned, he is nothing but a baby, so make sure he listens to anything you have to say and you have my permission to punish him as you see fit. You have my number, so call me if anything happens. I talked to him before we left the house, so I'm certain he should be very good for you."
Andrea and Jane said their goodbyes and before Lilly even knew it, his mommy had left. Now he was alone with what were basically two strangers, unsure of what would happen next. As Sophie continued showing Lilly how to color, Jane snuck up behind them and reached her hand down to perform a surprise diaper check on Lilly. This caused Lilly to jump and turn around in shock. Jane gave him a small giggle. "Sorry honey bunch, your mommy said I should check your diaper every once in a while", Jane said. "How about you Sophie, are you dry honey?"
"Yes mom!", Sophie replied, rolling her eyes at the implication that a big girl like her would still wet herself. Jane continued to look on while Sophie resumed coaching Lilly on the process of coloring. She thought it was adorable how her daughter would command him on what color to use, chiding him if he accidentally used the wrong one, and congratulating him whenever he complied with her demands. She knew from that point forward that Lilly would not be difficult to manage if he would let a four year old take charge and boss him around. Lilly, for his part, knew he must comply in order for the afternoon to go as smoothly as possible. He knew that no matter how humiliating things were now, there would be hell to pay later if he did not go with the flow and do whatever was asked of him.
Jane soon left the room to prepare drinks for the children. She pulled Lilly's bottle out of the bag and filled it to the brim with milk. She brought it over to the microwave and heated it for 20 seconds, testing it on her hands to make sure the temperature was okay. For her daughter, she would pour apple juice into a sippy cup, as Sophie had outgrown bottles long ago. As soon as Jane returned to the living room, she saw her daughter run up to her with an energetic air to her temperment. Sophie began shaking excitedly. "Mom! Mom! Can we watch The Princesses of Swan Castle? Lilly has never seen it before!", she asked her mother enthusiastically. Jane looked at Lilly, who looked back with a completely neutral face, and smiled to her daughter. "Of course we can Sophie", Jane said, "Just let me give the baby his bottle".
Jane handed the sippy cup to Sophie and walked over to the blanket where Lilly was sitting. Without even asking, she took Lilly in her arms and walked over to the couch, sitting down with him and resting his head on her shoulder. She picked the tv remote up off of the coffee table and selected the DVD option. Since it was Sophie's favorite film, it was already set up and ready to go in the DVD player. Jane pressed play on the menu screen and began bringing the teat of Lilly's bottle to his lips, which he instantly took and began to suc-k on. Lilly soon found himself passively suc-king the warm milk down his throat while Sophie stared transfixed at the television screen, which had now become a window into the glittery, flowery world of a pair of beautiful princesses. Jane watched her daughter get up and sing the theme song aloud, happy (but secretly somewhat annoyed) that she still got so excited by a movie that she watched every single day. She gave Lilly a pat on his diaper. "I think you'll like this movie, Lilly", she said in a soft voice, watching him continue to suc-kle milk. "Its about a pair of pretty princesses that become the bestest of friends. Sound familiar?"
When the bottle was completely drained, Jane hoisted Lilly up so his head was rested over her shoulder for his familiar burping ritual. Sophie watched them from the floor, giggling to herself as Lilly produced a few mild belches. Jane soon returned Lilly to his blanket so she could read a book while the two little girls watched the rest of the movie. Lilly, who did not particularly care for the film, now found himself nodding along while Sophie began to explain every intricate detail of the plot to him. She asked him question after question regarding which princess was his favorite, which outfits he liked the best, which prince each princess should marry, and so on. It was probably a good thing that she didnt seem to give him any chances to answer, especially considering his recent ban on saying anything resembling actual words. By the time it was done, Lilly was more than ready to do something else. However, he had more pressing problems.
Not wanting to risk embarrassing himself, he decided to take a gamble. He began crawling over to Jane and tapped her arm in order to get her attention. She put her book down and looked down at Lilly sympathetically. "What is it honey?", she asked. Lilly took out his pacifier and drew in close, holding his hand up to block his mouth as he began to whisper. "I'm so sorry, but I really have to go-"
Jane picked his pacifier back up and shoved it in his mouth. "Sorry baby, your mommy said no talking from you. I'm afraid I'm going to have to follow her rules", Jane said in a tough but fair tone, cutting off his sentence completely. Lilly quickly thought of another way to communicate with her and clutched his stomach, pointing to a bathroom he had noticed upon entering the house. Jane followed his finger and looked back down at him with a sorry expression on her face. "Oh baby, is that the problem? Do you have to go poopy?", she asked him loud enough for Sophie to hear. Sophie put her hand over her mouth and giggled. "Uh oh, baby has to make a messie", she sang out in a musical tone. Lilly felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him. He had intentionally tried to fly under Sophies radar, full well knowing that his pre school aged friend would find great enjoyment if she knew he may have to use his diaper. It was a hard bet for Lilly, who knew the chances of being allowed to use the bathroom were slim, but not non-existent. His hopes were crushed when Jane put down her book and crossed her arms, shaking her head at the poor sissy.
"I don't think you're quite old enough to use the toilet yet, honey. Otherwise your mommy wouldn't have given me all these diapers." Jane gestured to his diaper bag to emphasise her point. "You're just going to have to go poopy in your diaper sweetie. Don't worry, I'll change you when you're done. I know it's not nice to have to mess yourself like a baby, but if that's what your mommy wants, that's what's going to happen".
Lilly's eyes began watering at the thought of having to mess himself right then and there. Utterly speechless, he started instinctually suc-king on his pacifier while he looked down and tried not to cry. Sophie started to laugh hysterically when Lilly finally resigned himself to his fate and squatted. His face went red as he began to grunt and push a solid lump of poo into his diaper. Sophie laughed and laughed at the sight in front of her. Jane however, was somewhat sympathetic to his plight, although the degrading act the boy was having to partake in somewhat amused her too. Despite her sympathy, it still did not stop her from using this as a lesson for her daughter. "You see Sophie", she said, "This is what happens to little girls that never grow up. If you act like a baby, you get treated like one." Sophie scrunched her nose at the smell. "But I dont use my diapers anymore. I'm a big kid, right mommy?", Sophie asked with a genuine hint of concern in her voice. Jane walked over and gave her daughter a hug. "Of course you are honey. Much bigger than the baby girl you see in front of you", Jane replied, much to Sophie's relief.
When Lilly was finished, he looked over to see Sophie and Jane standing together with wide smiles plastered across their faces. Sensing his uncomfortability, Jane decided it was best to change him as fast as possible. "Stay here Sophie, I have to change Lilly", Jane said to her daughter, who responded by crossing her arms and frowning. "Awww, but you let me watch you change the other babies", Sophie said in a disappointed tone. Jane laughed at her daughter's response, unsure of how to even explain the current circ-umstances to her. "Yeah but this baby is...different", Jane responded unconvincingly. In truth, she could probably let her daughter watch and be fine, but because she could not find an age appropriate way to describe what a chastity device was, and because she did not want to further humiliate Lilly, she thought it may be best to change him in private.
Jane walked over to Lilly and put her arms around him, lifting him up into the air like the infant that he was. She told Sophie to stay put as she brought him into the bathroom and placed a small changing mat onto the floor for him. Laying him down on the mat, she told him to hold his dress up as she began to untape his dirty, disgusting diaper from around his hips. To her credit, she managed to keep herself from commenting on his very obvious chastity cage while she tenderly cleaned him up and placed him into a new diaper. It was a very strange experience for Lilly to be changed by what was essentially a stranger for the first time. His pacifier bobbed in and out of his mouth as he desperatley tried to distract himself from the fact that he was being changed by a woman he barely knew after messing himself in front of her like a total baby. Before Lilly knew it, he was taped into a new diaper and was being carried into the kitchen for his lunch.
When they arrived in the kitchen, Lilly immediately noticed two things. One, Sophie was already sitting at the table eagerly awaiting her food, and two, there was a pink plastic high chair waiting there that was surely for him. His suspicion was immediately confirmed when he was casually set down into it and locked in with the snap of a tray. It was a tight fit, but somehow the chair still seemed to manage to hold him, despite clearly being made for an actual baby. "Sorry princess, I know it's not much but it's all we have", Jane said with a knowing pat on Lilly's head. She soon walked over to the counter and began preparing a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for Sophie. Taking a knife, she cut the sandwich into triangular quarters before handing it to her hungry daughter, who began to devour them like a t-rex. Jane next grabbed a spoon, a jar of baby food, and a bib out of Lilly's bag, and there was no mistake who it was for. Lilly prepared for what would surely be a very babyish meal as Jane began to shovel the sloppy food into his mouth. Throughout lunch, Sophie and Jane would take turns making embarrassing offhand comments to each other about Lilly as he ate, both clearly viewing him as nothing more than a real life little baby by this point. Halfway through his feeding, Sophie wanted a turn at it, to which Jane delightfully gave her the go-ahead. Pushing a chair up in front of his high chair, Jane set Sophie on top of it and steadied her as she began to sloppily attempt to spoon feed Lilly his messy baby food. Being a four year old however, her coordination was quite poor, resulting in much of it ending up anywhere but his mouth. Sophie gave a laugh when she noticed how sloppy his face had become. "You messy baby!", she said to him in a disappointed tone, as if it was his fault. Lilly simply sat in silence, patiently awaiting his nap when he could finally get some peace and quiet.
When breakfast was over, Lilly was forced to sit in his high chair while he watched Sophie help Jane clean up. By the time they were finished, Lilly had become quite bored, and was glad when he learned that it was finally time for his nap. Jane reached down and unsnapped the cramped tray from the chair, but Lilly was surprised when she not only picked him up, but her daughter as well. Carrying them both in each arm, Jane headed for Sophies room which was decked out exactly as you would expect a four year old girls room to be. There was purple carpet, white walls adorned with purple drapes covering the windows, a small white dresser covered in pink hearts, and various posters of a multitude of children's properties, mostly Disney. In addition to Sophies regular bed, which was covered in an Elsa themed comforter and covered with stuffed animals, her room had been blessed with a new addition, Lilly's small travel crib. Jane placed Sophie down onto her bed and placed Lilly into her crib, which already had another bottle sitting there waiting for him. She leaned down and gave Sophie a kiss on the cheek, and smiled at the sight of Lilly sitting in a tiny crib staring up at her. "Alright girls, it's time for your naps. You can play more later, but for now you need to be quiet and get some sleep, alright?", Jane said with a loving voice. "Yes mommy", Sophie replied, already stretching in a way that showed sleep was clearly imminent. "Alright, sweet dreams lovelies", Jane said as she turned off the lights and closed the door. Within moments, Sophie was already fast asleep, and Lilly figured he should probably get some sleep too.
