Part 2
Nathan sat with an uneasy feeling in his stomach for what felt like ages before Andrea returned to the living room. Sitting down next to him on the couch, she took a sip of her tea before gentley placing it down on a coaster. What happened next surprised Nate. Without warning, she placed her arms around him and gave him a hug. She began to speak as she held him tight and rubbed his back. "I know things have been tough for you sweetie, and I want you to know that even though I'm very mad at you that it's all in the past. All I want now is to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. And believe me, it won't." Nathan sat perplexed for a second before gathering his words to respond. "I'm really sorry, I know I blew it. I should have listened to you before I wasted all that time. It won't happen again, Andrea. I promise." As Nate spoke there was a slight tinge of worry in his voice.
Instead of breaking from the hug, Andrea pulled Nate over so he was sitting directly on her lap, his head held comfortably in her arms. When he tried to get up, she simply pushed him down and held him tighter. "You know, I've been thinking...", she spoke, "When I received the news that you'd been kicked out of school, I fully planned on not letting you come back. After all, I gave you so many chances, and so many warnings, but each time you ignored what I had to say. I can't stress enough how disappointed I am in you". She punctuated this by staring at him with a very angry look in her eye, which caused Nate to look down in shame. Andrea continued, "However, I soon realised that I may not have been very fair to you. After all, I was assuming you could be grown up and act your age, but I don't think that was very thoughtful of me, was it Baby Lilly?"
Nathan jolted in shock at the mention of that name. Ever since he was a child, Nate had take an interest in the abdl lifestyle, although living at home he had not been able to partake in it. He would instead spend large amounts of his free time writing in his journal about his various fantasies, usually involving his forced diapering by various female figures and some level of crossdressing. Nate had thought the journal to be long gone, and didn't bother looking for it when he moved out to go to college. That was a big mistake.
Andrea got an amused look in her eye as she continued speaking. "You've probably figured out by now that I found your little journal when I was cleaning out your room. Honestly it's a bit weird, but I didn't think much of it at first. After all, I've never really thought of you as much of a man anyways, I guess it didn't really surprise me that you would want to be coddled like a baby. But then I got thinking. You really have always acted like a little girl, you know? I wondered if perhaps, deep down, it would be better for us all if we stopped playing pretend and just accepted that you'll never really be an adult."
Nathan could barely even respond. He just looked up at his step mom in shock, stammering in an attempt to respond. Andrea responded in kind by placing her finger on his lips and shushing him. She stroked his hair with her finger as she resumed speaking. "I'm going to do something very nice for you Nate, and I'm only going to offer this once, so you'd better listen to me and not give me any problems. I know I wasn't the nicest step mother to you growing up, and I'm sorry for all the things I've said that may have caused you any pain. That being said, I don't believe I was ever wrong about anything that I insinuated, and these last few months have basically proven me right. You're not an adult, you're certainly not a man, and if I was to kick you out of the house right now in your current state, I'd basically be committing an act of cruelty. The world would eat you alive."
Nathan's eyes teared up in his stepmother arms as he listened to her belittle him. This just caused her to shake her head. "See what I mean?", she said with a small sigh, "You're already pretty much on the verge of tears just because I'm confronting you. How long do you- a not even five foot tall weeping mess of a child- think you would last out on the streets or in a homeless shelter? It just wouldn't be fair. Lucky for you, mommy has a proposition to make. You see, ever since your sister grew up I've missed having a little one to care for. Ive always had very strong maternal instincts, and unfortunately your step sister was such an independent child that I felt like I barely had any time to be a mom. Couple that with the empty nest syndrome I've been feeling ever since I've had the house to myself these past few months, and you can see why I might feel like I need some sort of motherly bond right now. You on the other hand, compared to my daughter, have clearly been in need of some actual mothering for a long time. That's why I want to make you an offer. You can either accept it, along with all that It entails, or you can say no and leave this house with nowhere to go."
Nathan felt butterflies in his stomach as he struggled to form a response. "W...wha...whats the offer?" He eventually managed to respond as him step mom continued casually stroking his hair.
Andrea smiled. "I was just getting to that dear", she said as she held him even closer, cuddling him in a warm maternal way that he'd never felt her do before. "Since you clearly can't handle being an adult, and since you've spelled out so nicely what you really are in that journal I found, I think it would be in everyone's best interest if you were to live out the rest of your life as my little baby girl. I've already talked to your sister about this and she thinks it's a great idea. You wouldn't have to worry about a job, or having a place to stay, or making any decisions for yourself anymore. You would live exactly like a baby, wearing and using diapers, sleeping in a crib, and sitting in a play pen all day long. Before you look at me like I'm crazy just remember, I read your journal, I know this is what you really want." Her eyes soon darted over to the door "Or, as you know, you can always leave to fend for yourself on the streets. But if you stay here it will be as my baby girl full time. The choice is yours."
