Katie's Issues: Chapter 5 by Narxn 09/24/00 Writers Note: This is a work of fiction and as such I have taken certain creative liberties in the world. It's just written for fun. Thanks and enjoy! Katie came inside for dinner, which went rather uneventfully. Neither Amanda nor Paige commented on her diaper, though her mother made a point of making her stand up every half hour just to make sure that she didn't need to be changed. So the conversations ran as normal with only minor disruptions, and Katie almost began enjoying herself. Finally, once dinner was over, she did need to have her diaper changed again. Aunt Amanda led Katie and her mother up to the guest room with Paige in tow. Once they were all settled in, Katie's aunt and cousin left her and her mother alone so that she could be changed. Thankfully her mother did it quickly, and Katie was out in only a few minutes. After that they all watched TV for a bit, Katie had her diaper changed one more time, then got ready for and went to bed. Katie woke up the next morning and soon after her mother changed her. They went downstairs before Amanda or Paige woke up and Katie's mom said to her, "I talked to your aunt and cousin, and they are alright with changing your diaper. Which means that while you are here, you must come to any of the three of us to be changed. And I will not always be around so one of them will have to do it." she said and held her hand up to stave off Katie's protests, "Second thing, I want you to go out to town today and get some fresh air and sun. While you are out, you will not be allowed to change your diaper. If you wet or mess yourself, you will come straight back here and one of us will change you. Am I understood?" Katie hung her head over her half eaten breakfast, "Yes mother. I understand." "Good, and remember, you will have to be a big girl and ask to have your diaper changed, because we can't always be asking you and checking you to see if you're wet or messy." her mother said and proceeded on with breakfast. Katie finished her breakfast and soon thereafter Amananda and Paige came downstairs, both in house coats. By that time it was around 10 in the morning, so Katie lounged around the house for a bit and had to ask her mother to change her diaper once. At just after lunch, Katie's mother made her go outside and pointed and told her how to get to town, the main street of which was only a few blocks away and, handing her $20 and a small change bag that clipped onto the bottom of her shirt, she shooed her on her way. As Katie walked along, dressed in a short t-shirt, a fresh diaper, socks, and running shoes, she attracted some odd looks from people. But there were people walking and skating around in bikinis and one piece bathing suits so at least it was alright to not wear any pants. She managed to smooth her shirt down so it covered the front of her diaper, which was at least something. But she was blushing and so incredibly embarrased that she was sure that no matter what she did, everyone would see her diaper. After walking around for about half an hour, just window shopping and being self consious, Katie found a video arcade. It was dark and noisy inside and Katie was sure that noone would notice her diaper. So she approached the man at the counter and said loudly over the music and virtual violence, "I'd like 5 dollars in quarters, please." The man looked her over for a moment, then said, in a very cruel voice, "I'm sorry, we don't serve babies here. Maybe if you go and get your mommy to cover up your diaper then you could play some the little baby videogames." At that point all the anger, fear, embarrasment, and humiliation rose to the surface and Katie felt tears well in her eyes. The man looked at her with an evil grin, "Awww, baby gonna cry?" That was the last straw. Katie just screamed, whirled around, and ran down the street blindly, crying and not really knowing where she was going. Finally Katie stopped running, collapsing on a bench overlooking the long, white beach. She just sat there, realizing that she needed to have her diaper changed, but that it would probably hold more as it was only wet, and just sobbed. Then she saw a shadow move over her and a pretty young girl about her age in a big poofy pink dress and wire rimmed glasses said, "Mind if I sit?" she asked. Katie sobbed, "Go-go ahead." The girl sat down beside her. "I saw what happened at the arcade. That guy is a real jerk. Seriously, some people are just idiots. By the way, I'm Laurie." Katie just looked up at her as "Laurie" handed her a tissue. She dabbed her eyes. "I-I'm Katie." she said. "Nice to meet you." Laurie said. "You're a mess. You want to come over to my place? We couldget you cleaned up and then call your parents or something like that?" Katie sighed, she really didn't have anything to lose and Laurie seemed like a nice enough person. Even if she was going to play some kind of prank on Katie, she felt that it wouldn't really matter much to how she felt. "Alright," Katie said, "I'll come over to your place." "Great!" Laurie said, smiling, "You don't like computers, do you?" She asked and then they began talking all the way back to Laurie's house, Katie almost completley forgetting her troubles. This was the first real fun she'd had in the last few days. When they reached Laurie's house, they took their shoes off and went into the kitchen. Laurie's mom was waiting there and she stood up as Laurie entered. "How are you?", she asked her daughter. Laurie broke into a wide grin and spoke in a very babyish voice. "Me fine, mommy. Me want dwess off now." Laurie replied and her mother nodded and got Laurie to put her arms up while she took the dress off her. Underneath Laurie was wearing a short pink shirt with no sleaves and a velcro patch on one shoulder, a diaper, and nothing else. Her mother fished a pink and purple pacifier with a piece of elastic ending in a velcro piece out of her pocket, attached it to Laurie's shirt, and put it in the girl's mouth. Laurie sucked on it contently as her mother turned to Katie, who was standing there awestruck by all this. Not only did Laurie wear diapers, which she had been shocked to find, but she was also treated like a baby?!? "So," the older woman asked, "Are you a new friend of Laurie's?" Katie nodded. "I see that you're wearing a diaper. Do you need to be changed?" Again Katie nodded. "Alright then. You look to be about Laurie's size, so you should fit into one of her diapers. Come along, Laurie, we need to change your friend's diaper and your probably need a clean one on as well." Katie followed in a daze, not really sure what was going on. She entered Laurie's room and was amazed at what she saw. There was a large crib with a mobile over it and one of those Fisher-Price play boxes hung on one side. It had several teddy bears in it as well. There was a large change table with stacks of disposable diapers and plastic pants on it along with baby wipes, baby powder, and vaseline. There was a rocking chair, a big book shelf full of baby books, plus the entire room was painted pastel pink with purple trim and patterened wallpaper on the bottom half of the wall with Mickey and Miny Mouse on it. Laurie walked over to the change table and her mother helped her up. Then she lovingly changed the girls diaper and when she was done motioned for Katie to come up. Katie wasn't sure what to do. How would her mother react if she showed up not wearing the diaper she had started out with? To be continued... [1] [Image]
