Chapter 9: New Mommy and New Baby
I wake up back in the crib. I feel so sore and my legs ache. "I was so close" I sigh and feel a diaper back beneath me, it's wet, soaked. I sit up and throw the kangaroo out of the crib, hitting the lamp and knocking it over.
"Shit" I lay down fast and pretend to sleep before Kaylee comes in. I close my eyes tight and wait. After about 10 minutes I lean back up and stare at the door. "Huh? Where is she?" I look over and see the baby monitor off. "That's weird" I try to stand up, but quickly fall back down on my butt. I feel the diaper squish around against me. "The first time I actually want to be changed and she's MIA" I sigh and lay back down, holding my teddy bear tight.
"Why can't this just be a dream, I just want to go home, to college I just-" The door swings open and it's Cindy?
"Hey little buddy, wakie wakie!" She picks me up and lays me on the changing table.
"Aw someone's a very wet little boy, I'm sorry I was so late." I cover my face and let her do whatever to get this diaper off.
"Where's Kaylee?" I stutter out, my best friends girlfriend is changing my diaper, that can kinda put you in a state of nerves.
"Aw you miss mommy huh? Well since Mason decided to be a bad boy, mommy's going to help him be a baby for a few days, she'll be back soon" She laughs and changes me into some shorts with anchors on them, a white shirt with blue letters that says captain adorable and some blue socks to match the shorts and lettering. "Mommy has such cute clothes for you, I wish she'd dress you in them more often." She picks me up and walks to the kitchen. "Sit in your high chair while I make some breakfast okay?" She hands me some keys that light up and play music, while she walks to the stove. I should've had a burger or something while I was free, I'm sick of this baby food, I'm starving. I replay this morning in my head. Wait. Mason.
"Well since Mason decided to be a bad boy, mommy's going to help him be a baby for a few days."
Fuck. This is all my fault. My best friend is going to be in the same situation, all because he wanted to help me. I've got to be the worst best friend in the world.
I try to some how get out of the high chair, when Cindy turns around and puts some cut up waffles on my plate. Waffles? Real food? Can Cindy stay here forever? "Open up little boy." She smiles and starts feeding me the waffles. They were delicious. I was so happy to finally get some real food in my stomach. She hands me a sippy cup of juice and I drink it down fast.
"Someone's a thirsty little man huh?" She laughs and wipes my face from the syrup.
"Okay buddy we have a big day so why don't you sit her and play for a bit while auntie gets ready." She picks me up and places me in the play pen. Big day? Please no more big days. I can't take this. 1 After strapping me in a stroller, which I barely fit it, Cindy pushes me out the door and down the block. She pushes a pacifier in my mouth and hands me a blue rattle. I roll my eyes and pray no one sees me like this.
She pushes me into the park and sits me in the grass. "Now stay here and play, I'll be right over on the bench." She kisses my head and sets down a few toys.
"Landon!" I look up fast and see Rex.
I spit the pacifier out and look up. "Hey Rex." He smiles and picks up the pacifier, wipes it on his shirt and places it back in my mouth. "You dropped your binky buddy." He smiles and sits across from me. I can't even be mad at the kid, he's obviously in head space, he thinks hes helping. I smile behind the pacifier and hand him a car. "Thanks Landy I missed you!" He hugs me tight and grabs my hands.
"Let's go play, Rexy will help you." He giggles and drags me to the play ground. "Do you wanna go down the slide Landy He helps me up and sits me on his lap. It looks like a far way down, why does it look so high to me grab onto him tight as we slide down. "Weee!" He giggles and holds me as we slide down. "Wasn't that fun Landy?" I nodd my head and pull him towards the swings. "No Landy you're too little for the big swings." Too little? I'm a fucking
college student!
He sets me down on the grass and I look up. He looks taller then last time. I try to get up but fall back down right on my butt, which now I notice is wet. I start to cry. Why am I crying? What's wrong with me? "Landy what's wrong?" Rex hovers over me and leans down patting my butt. "Uh oh mommy! Mommy!" Stella comes running over to us. "What's wrong honey?" She leans down to Rex.
"Landy needs a diaper change." She smiles and picks me up rubbing my back. I'm still crying? I don't even feel like I'm crying.
"Cindy went to go get some ice cream for you guys." She looks around and back at me. "I'll change you Landon is that okay?" I sniffle and lay my head against her. She feels so warm and nurturing, for the first time in weeks I'm not terrified. "Can you help me change the baby Rexy?" Rex smiles and jumps up and down. "Yes mommy!" Stella giggles and walks back to the bench laying me down. Why is she changing me here? In public?
Rex hands her a diaper and shes begins to change me. Her touch is so gentle, I feel myself harden and my face turns bright red. "It's okay Landy that happens when mommy changes me too." Stella smiles and sighs placing the diaper over my stiff member. "All done cutie." She kisses my stomach making me giggle. What is happening to me?
